This University of Mississippi All-American quarterback and third baseman was drafted
by the AFL Oilers and the NFL Browns. A $105,000 Yankee bonus-baby, Gibbs was thought
to be in the Dickey-Berra-Howard mold, but he had a weak bat and an injury-prone
body, and spent most of his career as a platoon player. He returned to coach at Ole
Miss.
