It is certainly accurate that Kirk Gibson is best remembered for his dramatic World Series walk-off Home Run for the Los Angeles Dodgers (a year he was named MVP) but the real meat of his career was in Motown playing for the Tigers. Gibson was already a World Series Champion in Detroit (1984) and won the MVP of the ALCS that year. As a Tiger, Gibson would hit 195 Home Runs, steal 194 bases with a .480 Slugging Percentage.
