Kirk Gibson has been a part of Major League Baseball since the 70’s as a player, coach and manager. During his college days he starred at Michigan State University as both a wide receiver for the football team and an athletic center fielder on the baseball team. After earning All-American honors in both sports he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the 7th round of the NFL Draft and by the Detroit Tigers in the 1st round of the MLB Draft. Ultimately he decided to pursue a career in baseball and it paid off. From 1979 to 1995 he played with the Tigers, Dodgers, Royals, and Pirates before returning to Detroit to retire as a Tiger in 1995. During his career he helped both the Tigers and Dodgers to World Series titles and was named the National League MVP in 1988. After his retirement he returned to the bigs as a coach with the Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks from 2003 to 2010, and was named manager of the Diamondbacks in 2010. From 2010 to 2014 he led the Diamondbacks to an NL West title and earned NL Manager of the Year honors in 2011.
