This week’s guest on Exit Philosophy with Griff and Scotty Mac is popular, former Blue Jays manager, John Gibbons, one of three Jays skippers to win a post-season game, along with Bobby Cox and Cito Gaston.
I just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Couldn't help smiling most of the time! John Gibbons just seems like a decent and engaging person, seemingly without ego. You get the feeling he'd treat everybody the same way. Very self-deprecating as well, but he's smarter than he lets on. Part of his herky jerky speaking cadence is that his mind is working so fast. It occurred to me that I used to watch every Gibby post-game conference religiously, but never watched Charlie's and rarely watch Schneider. I think my favourite Gibby quote was after a particularly shoddy game when he told you reporters 'You saw the same shit I did'.
You pretty much have his personality figured out. Genuine and what you see is who he is.
