Nice, and funny! I'm a Gibson collector AND a longtime Alice Cooper fan, especially of "Eighteen" the song that introduced me to them band.

Still getting around. I saw him back in '76 in Houston. A most memorable show. And I loved Gibson included his own most memorable move, the clutch.

Dad’s more of a fan of his time in Detroit. One story he told me, and I’ll never forget.
In the mid-90’s, my dad went to a Orioles-Royals game at Camden Yards with his work. One of his co-workers brought their kid along to the game. In the 8th inning, Gibson came up to hit. When he stepped up to the plate, my dad started cheering and the kid said to my dad, “Gibson sucks!” My dad turned to him and said, “Just you watch, he’s gonna do something and win this game.” Sure enough, Gibson hits a go-ahead homer, the kid doesn’t say another word the rest of the game, and the Royals won the game.

That kid may have been in LA, too!

Great to watch!
Odd that I was just reading an older SI magazine about Gibby and learned that he has Parkinson's Disease..
Growing up in Detroit, one of my more favorite Tigers!

His Parkinson's is very unfortunate. The fact that he's on the air as the regular color commentator is ruining my image of Gibby, who I love. He's just so mono-tone, it's horrible. Too bad Rod & Mario got themselves fired for not getting along after 16-17 years together in the booth. The video is hilarious.
He's 61 by the way. Alice Cooper just turned 71.
