OK, why is a professional athlete in the fashion-themed issue? A couple of reasons. One: He has a 2009 World Series ring, and among baseball players, that’s always going to be fashionable. Two: Brett Gardner ’05 represents a shift in baseball culture, a departure from the recent Steroid Era, when drug-enhanced power ruled the day. He marks baseball’s return to players defined by their athleticism, speed and grit on the field. Brett Gardner may be retro, but he’s also very much en vogue. by Mark Berry photography by Mike Ledford
