“The Astros have been a very important part of my life for more than 23 years,†said Gardner, who will become a special advisor to Crane. “It truly has been a joyful and rewarding experience. I’m very proud of what we have been able to accomplish as an organization and the important role the Astros play in the life of our city and region.Â
