Kirk Gibson signed my Detroit Tigers hat at the Kingdome in '84. In fact, Chet Lemon got the whole team to sign my hat. Chet talked to us for a good ten minutes before the game and I had the audacity to ask him to hit a homerun for me. He asked me if I'd settle for two singles. Jack Morris was on the mound that night. Magical night.

His Dodger's HR in Game 1 vs. the A's was one of the best I've seen. Damaged but determined...

When Gibson first came up, the talk was that he was going to be the next “Mickey Mantle”

I was at the game, the pretzel and popcorn vendors had formed a conga line in left field and were going down the aisles raising the roof with their boxes, raising them up and down, while they were snaking their way through the aisles, must of been like 12-15 of them, meanwhile the crowd was singing Goose Busters! to the Ghost buster theme music coming over the loud speakers. We KNEW what was going to happen. What a night

It was legendary. But not as much as what took place in 1981 on Disco Demolition Night in Fenway.

For as much winning we did that year the season boiled down to a handful of moments. Al Ackernan’s Bless You Boys campaign. Jack Morris’ early no hitter. One of the great at-bats ever: Dave Bergman’s 2 out 2 man on walk-off HR to the upper deck in right against Roy Lee Jackson and the Jays on Monday Night Baseball. And Gibby’s coup de grace.

Not sure if you know or recall, "Bless You Boys" started as a sarcastic remark by Ackerman the year before, when the Tigers broke a losing streak. He turned it around as a compliment and jumped on the bandwagon. He also called Anderson "5th Place Sparky" his first couple of years here. I think you would agree that there are so many "little things" in each season that complete the "whole picture". One that I recall (in a game I was at, sitting in the bleachers) was the final game (June 7) of the four game series against Toronto. (3 days after Bergy's HR, with an assist to Hojo for tieing the game with his 3 run homer in the bottom of the 7th). The Jays had won the next two and were only 3 1/2 games behind. With the score tied 1-1 in the 6th, recently called up Ruppert Jones (in his 2nd game), hit a 3 run homer into the right field upperdeck. Detroit won the game 5-3, Morris giving up 1 earned run, and raising his record to 11-2. The Jays would not come that close the rest of the year. Was a great time to be a Tiger fan!

Funny how in 2011 NLDS, Kirk Gibson would be in the shoes as Dick Williams was here, where the Brewers were up 2-1, 1 out, Braun hits a double, then Prince Fielder comes up to hit, and everyone expects Kirk to have Ian Kennedy to IBB Fielder, and Kirk chose to pitch to him. 2 pitches later, Fielder hits a 2-run HR, Brewers win 4-1.

We have a saying in golf. "Every shot make somebody happy!" As it is in Baseball. Gossage was an amazing pitcher. As was Eckersley! Gibson was clutch. A Spartan! With a destiny as a sports hero.

I love this because I was a big Yankee fan in elementary school. But as I entered middle school the “Bronx Zoo” and King George along with bandwagon fans turned me off. Sparky going to the Tigers turned me into a fan. This moment occurred the fall of my senior year of high school. Probably one of the few Tiger fans in North Jersey. When Gibson knocked it out I celebrated with PopTarts and juice…

@us-Bahn Жыл бұрын

Ok, as a matter of personal belief and conviction in your ability to strike another man out, I understand Gossage. But as a simple question of baseball strategy, why would you EVER leave 1st base open, not walk Gibson, and not opt to pitch to a lesser hitter? Pure insanity.

What A Coincidence That Vin Scully in1984 Calling the Word Series with Kirk Gibson at Bat and a Home Run.⚾️🏟 Then 4years Later in 1988 Kirk Gibson up in the 9th Inning Vin Scully again at the Mike 🎙 Gibson another Home Run 🏟⚾️ to win Game 1 in the Word Series!

@johncassani6780 4 ай бұрын

It wasn’t much of a coincidence really, because he was under contract as the World Series announcer for much of the 80s, at least. He called the 86 series and Buckner’s error too. He was the absolute best.

IIRC, he worked for NBC Sports in the postseason, they alternated with ABC for the world series and even-numbered years it was their turn (I think the network that didn't have the WS aired the NLCS and ALCS)

@@EzraStyles-b6n: I was elated that the Tigers had climbed the highest peak, but then they never scaled that peak again. The Tigers may have looked like a perennial powerhouse on paper, but when it comes to sports, and much in life, you have to go out there and prove it every day.
