Kirk Gibson was my favorite baseball player from the 80s. We worship our sports teams here in Detroit and he was a big part of our World Series win in 84.

He did good for the Dodgers. He is now on the broadcasting team for the Tigers and they regularly show that clip and he laughs because it's not with Tigers, lol.

Detroit is my wife team and Boston teams are my girlfriends. I'm just now getting into basketball. Of course, as a kid, I loved Pippen, Rodman and Jordan on the Bulls, but I've never been in to basketball. I'm a huge hockey guy, football guy and baseball guy.
