James “Jim” Elmer Gantner, affectionately known as “Gumby,” is a former Major League Baseball player who spent his entire 17-season career (1976-1992) with the Milwaukee Brewers. He is a beloved figure in Brewers history and a native of Wisconsin, having played baseball in the state from his youth through college.
Gantner was a consistent presence in the Brewers’ infield for nearly two decades, primarily playing second base but also seeing time at third base and even a rare appearance on the mound as a reliever. He was known for his hard-nosed, competitive approach to the game and was considered the “heart and soul” of the memorable 1982 Brewers team, which won the American League pennant and made it to the World Series. In the 1982 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, Gantner hit an impressive .333.
After retiring in 1992, Gantner maintained ties with the Brewers, making appearances as an ambassador for the club and even coaching for a couple of seasons. He has been inducted into the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame and the Brewers Walk of Fame.
