Gantner grew up in Eden, Wisconsin, and attended Campbellsport High School in nearby Campbellsport.
Gantner was a 12th-round draft pick in the 1974 amateur draft.
He spent two years in the minor leagues before being called up to the majors.
Ganter was best known for his consistent play, which culminated in a respectable .274 career batting average after 17 seasons.
In his rookie season, Gantner pinch-ran for Hank Aaron in Aaron's final Major League game on October 3, 1976.
Gantner pitched an inning of relief against the Kansas City Royals on August 29, 1979, allowing two hits.
Despite the game being a blowout, he was almost ejected for arguing balls and strikes with the umpire.
Gantner, or "Gumby" as he was affectionately known because of the way he turned double plays, was the Brewers’ second baseman when they won the 1982 American League pennant.

Gantner hit the first pitch into the right field bleachers in Milwaukee County Stadium, giving the Brewers an 8-7 victory.
Brewers announcer Bob Uecker had the call with, "Here's the pitch to Gantner. He hits one to right and deep. Get up. Get up. Get outta here - gone! A dinger for Klinger! And this game is over. Woah, Jimmy Gantner!"
Gantner was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.
