I see Kirk Gibson was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease the other day.
He and Jack Morris were just picked up by FOX for on air work during Tiger games.
How’s Jack doing?
He helped the Twinkies kick some series butt.
His HR game was the best game I ever saw.
While I don't know the whole circumstances around Kirk Gibson, I can say I play softball with two guys who are afflicted with Parkinson's. Al is mildly affected and Larry, in his later 60's, can been seen in the outfield with his glove hand shaking uncontrollably. But neither one is affected when it comes to batting or making a play.
I've spoken with both of them at length regarding their condition and both of them have stated that other than the uncontrollable shaking of their hands, it doesn't affect their lives at all......
Which brings up the question, why is Gibson taking leave from the announcer's box?
