He is remembered for not one, but two of the most titanic, well-timed homers in World Series history ("he don't wanna walk you!)...But beyond that, two-time World Champion Kirk Gibson is doing other heroic stuff these days. An icon around these parts for sure, Gibby has some great stories to share.
