Kirk Gibson is one of baseball's newest managers, getting the interim tag with the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 1 after A.J. Hinch was let go. Gibson is best remembered for belting one of the greatest home runs in World Series history, a pinch-hit, two-run blow with two out in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 victory over Oakland. The NL MVP in 1988, Gibson played for three other teams (Detroit, Kansas City and Pittsburgh).
