John Gibbons joins the show for a conversation packed with baseball stories, laughs, and classic Gibby wisdom. The former Blue Jays manager reflects on his lone MLB home run, his famous ejections, the evolution of coaching in today's game, and why he believes the best managers know when to step aside and let great players do what they do best.
Gibby also opens up about his memories of Hall of Famer Roy Halladay, tells an incredible story involving Ted Lilly and a mound visit gone wrong, and explains why players like Whit Merrifield are so valuable to winning teams. To wrap things up, Lindsay and Whit debut a new segment featuring eye black, sunglasses at night, and some strong opinions on baseball fashion.
