John Gibbons

Naturally, I've seen him from afar, and he's been banged up the last couple of years.

Like you said, though, he's healthy this year, and he's off to a great start.

He's probably the most humblest superstar I've ever been around.

He's just a great dude, and he'll do anything for you and anybody else.

But he's moving around great, like he was younger.

Naturally, if he's getting to that stage of his career...

where his body's a little bit more beat up.

Maybe he doesn't move quite as quick.

I mean, that's the way it's supposed to happen.

But he's off to a tremendous start.

We were in Yankee Stadium a couple weeks ago, and he and Judge were going at it back-to-back with the home run barrages.

But to watch Mike every day, I'd seen him.

We'd play him every now and then.

But to see him up close every day, you really appreciate him much, much more.

Oh, I mean, he could fit in on any team, but he would –

He would definitely have been a little out of place, I would say.

But he would have been the voice of reason, one of the more stable characters on that team, put it that way.

Well, they do things easier, you know.

I mean, it's not always more talent, but there's, you know, physically, I mean, they know their swings.

They know how to play.
