One of the greatest pitchers in Missouri Tigers baseball history officially hung up his cleats today for the last time.
Kyle Gibson, who last appeared in the majors this season with the Baltimore Orioles, announced his retirement on the “Serving It Up!” podcast where he is a regular guest hosted by St. Louis Cardinals sideline reporter Jim “The Cat” Hayes.
“It’s been exciting being home, and exciting turning the page to a new chapter,” he said, “I’ve kind of taken the last couple of weeks to call people and text people that I really wanted to let know in person, and I’m going to take the next few days and try to write something up and make sure that I can properly thank everybody that needs to be thanked for the last 15, 16 years in professional baseball.
