Nike Kirk Gibson Detroit Tigers Cooperstown Classic Throwback Jersey - Navy Blue

In 12 seasons, and two stints with the Tigers, Kirk Gibson hit 195 homers, stole 194 bases, drove in 668 runners and walked 499 times. The versatile, speedy outfielder might not have been the next Mickey Mantle like Sparky Anderson said he would become, but Gibson will always be remembered by the Detroit faithful especially for his World Series home run in Game 5 of the ’84 series. The Tigers were up by one, two men were on base and Hall of Famer Goose Gossage made the decision to pitch to Gibson who had already hit a home run earlier in the game. Gibson belted the ball in the right field bleachers and iced the game, and the World Series for Detroit. For Goose, it was a decision that haunted him all the way to Cooperstown and for Gibson and Detroit, it was one that they’ll never forget. Relive that home run and honor one of Detroit’s greats when you sport this Kirk Gibson Cooperstown jersey by Nike. It features a tackle twill throwback Tigers logo on the left chest, Gibson’s name and his #23 in tackle twill on the back and rib-knit striped sleeve cuffs.
