His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Jim Gantner baseball stats page.

"To a man, the Brewers admire Gantner, an overachieving, hard-nosed, feisty competitor who motivated more talented teammates with his zest for the game. He was, in the vernacular, 'a gamer,' which is just about the highest compliment you can pay a baseball player." - Sportswriter Gary D'Amato in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (08/16/2002)
