The Kirk Gibson Interview

Well he's pretty humble when talking about himself, he was well above average in determination and hustle, Hall of Fame material in my opinion

your right Kirk, you made history, i remember that moment vividly, i was bouncing up and down as a young kid cuz i knew you'd pull it off.

I saw a replay of the '84 homer vs Gossage where they had a mike on Sparky Anderson. There was a man on 2nd, 2 out. When Goose refused the intentional walk sign, Sparky got real exited and started yelling "he thinks he can strike you out!". You could see those words fire up Gibson, and he delivered on the next pitch. That's my greatest baseball moment.

"I'll hear the fans. It won't hurt. This is what it's all about. This is what you play the game for."

Epic quote.

Kirk Gibson ftw.

Man, this guy rocks. I was rooting for the Pathetics at the time and this HR made my world crumble down hehe but it was a great moment in the WS after all.

This was the most dramatic, but I like his HR against Gossage in the 84 series even more. Gibson had not done well against Goose and Goose believed he owned him. He did. He elected not to walk Gib. Gib smacked one . To me, it was just as dramatic, but doesn't get as much air time. It should.

I was there 3rd row off first base.

greatest SPORTS moment in history....and yes, greater than anything Gretzky, Jordan, or Montana ever did.

My mom was in attendance

thanks Gibby for an epic moment I will never forget.
