RIP - Rob Gardner

 
Rob Gardner, who pitched for six teams over eight seasons, passed away on October 21, 2023 at age 78.
Gardner began his career with the Mets in 1965, then moved on to the Cubs, Indians, Yankees, Athletics, Yankees again, then wrapped up with the Brewers in 1973. 
 
He was primarily a reliever, although he started half his games in 1966 (his most playing time) and 1972 (his best season). 
 
After his playing career, he became a fireman and a paramedic.

He was traded from the Yankees to the A's TWICE, each time for a different Alou brother.
