The Billology has also highlighted Miller’s reputation as a star athlete and an honor student at the Pinewood Preparatory School in Summerville, in South Carolina. He was an active student of the honor table who excelled in football and baseball, while wearing Jersey n ° 11, which his father wore with the Yankees.
Brett Gardner played for the Yankees from 2008 to 2021 and was part of the last World Series championship in the organization in 2009. Gardner is one of the few former Yankees to have been teammates with Derek Jet and Alex Rodriguez, then Aaron judges several years later.
The Yankees themselves paid tribute to the deceased teenager son of the former voltiseur before their 4-2 victory against the Brewers Milwaukee on the day of opening. The team observed a moment of silence before the first throw and displayed a photo of Miller on the team’s video board.

“Our hearts are heavy and the Yankees family is filled with sorrow after learning the death of Miller Gardner,” the team said in a statement on Sunday. “The words seem insignificant and insufficient to try to describe such an unimaginable loss. It is not only Brett who has literally grew up in this organization for over 17 years – his wife, Jessica, and their two boys, Hunter and Miller.
“We cry with Brett, Jessica, Hunter and their community of family and mourning friends of the loss of Miller, who had a spark in his eyes, an extroverted and fiery personality, and a warm and loving nature. Our love for the Gardner family is unconditional and absolute, and we will offer our sustainable support while understanding their desire for confidentiality at that time.
“May Miller rest in peace.”
Marisel Rodriguez Solis, head of the press for the police of the Costa Rica judicial investigation (OIJ), told PK Press Club that the investigation had increased to a possible food poisoning as the most likely cause, but asphyxiation was not excluded.
The results of forensic and pathological tests could take between one and four months.
