The All-Brewers Team: Positional Players

2nd Base – Jim Gantner (1976 – 1992)

Jim Gantner was a career Brewer in every sense of the word. He played 1,449 games at second base, more than Rickie Weeks, Fernando Vina, and Ronnie Belliard combined. He was always solid and always there. I think Lou summed it up best:

Not even a conversation here.  17 years as a Brewer, career .274 hitter.  In the 1982 World Series, Gantner hit .333 with 4 doubles.  No one in Brewers history is even close to Gumby Gantner.
