Kirk Gibson receives lifetime achievement award from MLBPAA
Kirk Gibson is a well known commodity in the state of Michigan and the Michigan State community. After a very long and successful career in the MLB, following his time as a football and baseball player in East Lansing, he has continued to win a multitude of awards.
The latest award that Gibson has received, the Fred Valentine Lifetime Achievement Award, awarded by the Major League Baseball Player's Alumni Association.
The MLBPAA describes the award as such, along with Gibson's recipient information:
"This award honors the legacy of Fred Valentine, a founding member of the MLBPAA who embodied integrity, service in the community, and passion towards serving others. Each year, we celebrate his memory by recognizing an Alumni member who carries those same values forward. Through Kirk's impact in the community and the creation of the Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson's, we are proud to celebrate him on Wednesday, June 25th, during our Alumni Day at Comerica Park!"
Congratulations to the former Spartan on his latest award.
