Toby Gardenhire

Toby Joel Gardenhire was born on September 11, 1982, in Manhasset, New York. He is the son of former MLB player, coach, and manager Ron Gardenhire and Carol Gardenhire. Growing up, the Gardenhire family lived in Kansas. However, for part of the year they would live wherever Ron was managing. As such, Toby would occasionally attend Roseville Area High School, where he once played against Cretin-Derham Hall and Joe Mauer at Midway Stadium. == Playing career ==

Toby Gardenhire was again drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 41st round of the 2005 Major League Baseball draft, spending most of his time as a utility player, and playing for the New Britain Rock Cats and the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings.

After hitting .247 in 103 games at Rochester in 2011, Toby finished with a career line of .232/.291/.274, with six home runs, in 533 minor league games, while seeing playing time at all nine defensive positions, including innings as a pitcher. == Coaching career ==
