Kirk Gibson steps away from Tigers TV with Fanduel Sports Network

Lakeland, Florida -Kirk Gibson, who led a public struggle against Parkinson’s disease, will resign as a member of the Tigers programs on Fanduel Sports Network this season to concentrate on his health.

“Although I may leave the stand, my connection to the Tigers remains strong,” said Gibson in a release on Monday. “This transition is not about getting slower. It’s about driving my mission ahead to change people’s lives with Parkinson’s.”

The 67 -year -old Gibson was listed as an analyst as an analyst at the end of February when the Tigers unveiled the radio talent for 2025.

Gibson will remain a member of the Tigers organization as a special assistant of General Manager.

“Whether on the field or in the community, Gibby is a bright example of what we all embody,” said the tigers in a press release. “His grit, his persistence and his commitment to the old English ‘d’ are unsurpassed properties that have connected him so deeply with generations of Tigers fans.”

Gibson was a Star athlete from Waterford Kettering, an all-America soccer player in the state of Michigan, a freak athlete with speed and strength and an ornery defense to refuse to lose anything. He played a crucial role in the 1984 world champions before he became manager and broadcaster.

“While the closure of a chapter today marks, its profound influence on the tiger and the city of Detroit will continue and continue to grow in the future,” said the tiger. “We will all work closer than ever to support important causes, including the Kirk Gibson Foundation, to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and improve the quality of life of people fighting the disease.”

Gibson announced that he had Parkinson’s in 2015. Since then he has continued to broadcast games, although his commitment has decreased steadily. At the beginning of this spring he was discovered at a spring training game in Florida.

Parkinson’s is a brain disease. The cause is not known.

Gibson founded the Kirk Gibson Foundation in 1996 to provide school-based Sowohl athletes as well as non-athlete-AN WASSERFORD KETERING and the Clarkston High School in Detroit College Scholarships. After the diagnosed Parkinson’s disease in 2015, the foundation of the foundation for the awareness of Parkinson’s and improving the quality of life of people who are fighting against this degenerative illness was expanded, according to the foundation’s website.

“At a personal level, I will concentrate on my current health and at the same time support and encourage others against Parkinson’s,” said Gibson. “Through my foundation, we open the Kirk Gibson Center for Parkinson’s Wellness in autumn. The development of this center is a great undertaking that will be the first of its kind in Michigan, which offers those affected by Parkinson’s access to a number of activity -based programs that are completely free.”

At the beginning of spring, the Tigers announced their Broadcast team. Jason Benetti will take on the Play-by-Play tasks for the second season in a row. He will be with analyst Dan Petry and former Tigers outfield Andy Dirks.
