Having played in the majors for 13 seasons from 2005 until his retirement in 2017, Hardy earned numerous accolades including the Silver Slugger award in 2013, two All-Star selections, and three Gold Glove awards.
He was originally drafted by the Brewers in the 2nd round of the 2001 draft out of Sabino High School in Tuscon, Arizona. Now, Hardy has returned to Arizona to enjoy the sunny skies and warm weather in retirement.
