Wouldn't that be fun? A long shot, true, but not impossible as his Diamondbacks have moved into a two game lead over the world champion Giants.

I am so happy to see Kirk Gibson doing so well as manager. I had always hoped he would be the Tiger's manager, but Trammel [now his assistant] got the call and then Leland, who I also like, blocked his possible path. He is my all time Tiger favorite and I sat behind him his entire career in the lower right field bleachers of Tiger Stadium.

I loved his intensity and fire, even overlooking his shaky fielding lol, and his relishing the opportunity for the big clutch moment. That is why I always felt he would make a good manager. He was fearless and and intensely wanted to and tried to win every time. He was a winner all his life and now he is showing it again.
