In 1948, Danny Gardella was traded to the New York Giants, and this marked the beginning of his most successful baseball career. During his time with the Giants, Gardella gained a reputation as a powerful hitter and became a fan favorite thanks to his knack for hitting clutch home runs. In 1949, he hit 5 home runs in his first 52 at-bats, including a grand slam home run against the St. Louis Cardinals. Gardella's impressive performance led the Giants to the World Series that year, where they lost to the Yankees.
Despite his success, Danny Gardella's baseball career was cut tragically short. He was one of the players who signed contracts to play in the Mexican League, which was considered a violation of the Major League Baseball reserve clause. The league commissioner banned them from playing in the United States, and the players were blacklisted from the MLB. Gardella attempted to fight the ban through the courts, but the legal battle was unsuccessful. He retired from baseball in 1955, having played for 7 seasons in the National League. After his retirement, Danny Gardella worked as a bricklayer for many years. He passed away on March 1, 2005, at the age of 85. Read even more about Danny Gardella at Wikipedia
