I went to East Lansing when we played MSU in 1978. Gibson had been drafted by the Tigers earlier that summer. As a Tiger fan, I cringed every time he was hit.

He was a remarkable athlete, a first-round MLB pick even though he only played one year of college baseball. He would’ve been a first-rounder in the NFL draft had the Tigers not drafted him first.
