The definition of an athlete that I like is a person who can play more than one sport at an extremely high level. Using that definition, I would consider Kirk Gibson and Bo Jackson two of the finest athletes I have had the pleasure to watch.
Having ckecked Kirk on the internet I discovered he is fighting Parkinson's. I wish him the best and I should have known this before I ignorantly criticized his announcing.
Getting the Detroit feed. I respect Kirk Gibson as a great athlete, but he should not be working in the announcing booth. It's like c'mon Kirk, what are you trying to say?
