John Gibbons is one of those special "baseball" guys that makes the game fun, makes it a little more interesting.
On Sunday afternoon in St. Petersburg, Fla., Gibbons' second stay as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays comes to an end with the final game of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays, and Gibby is going out in style.
He's having veteran catcher Russell Martin manage the team.
"I'm having a little fun with it," Gibbons said Saturday. "Let him see how tough it is."
Technically, Martin will be a player/manager, but he hasn't played since Sept 3 as the Jays have been looking at younger players.
