1967 Topps #375 Jake Gibbs
About Jake Gibbs
A fifth-series card, #375 reports 1966: 62 games, 182 at-bats, a .258 average, three home runs and 20 RBI, a season cut short when he broke his left hand. Elston Howard still caught 126 games that summer for a Yankee club that went 70-89 and finished tenth and last in the American League, 26 1/2 games behind Baltimore.
Jake Gibbs, born Jerry Dean Gibbs in Grenada, Mississippi, in 1938, was a two-sport star at Ole Miss. He led the Rebels to their first SEC baseball championship in 1959, and in the 1961 Sugar Bowl he ran for both touchdowns and took MVP honors in a 14-6 win over Rice that capped a 10-0-1 season the Football Writers Association of America crowned national champion. A unanimous All-America quarterback and the 1960 SEC Player of the Year, he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Oilers and chose baseball anyway, signing with New York in 1961 for a bonus reported at $100,000 or more; the Yankees turned the young infielder into a catcher in 1963. His whole ten-year career, 1962 through 1971, was spent in the Bronx, .233 with 25 home runs and 146 RBI in 538 games, first backing up Elston Howard, then catching regularly in 1967 and 1968, finally giving way to Thurman Munson. He went home to coach Ole Miss baseball for 19 seasons, 1972 through 1990, winning 485 games, and entered the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995.
