In recognition of Gardner's 300th win


With Billy Gardner picking up his 300th win with the Biscuits on Thursday to become the all-time winningest manager in Montgomery professional history, let's reminisce.

Here are a few memorable moments caught in photo (above, catching it from Jason Cooksey last year) and video (click here for a flashback to 2007 with Art Thigpen and a cameo appearance by Ria Cortesio).

I don't remember the call from last year, but the photo was taken just after he had spiked his helmet. The 2007 ejection was a fair-foul dispute, which is why Gardner kicks the chalk, and I remember that it started calmly and simmered. Thigpen is also one of the few umpires that Gardner can engage face-to-face.
