John Gibbons was given a hearty farewell as manager of the Blue Jays Wednesday night as the team and fans showed thier affection for “the Gibber.” The Jays defeated the defending champion Houston Astros 3-1 while fans applauded Gibbons throughout the game. The win guaranteed Gibbons a managerial win-loss record above .500. “I didn’t want to end up below .500 because then they call you a loser,” Gibbons said with a chuckle hours after the team announced the long-expected news that he would not be returning next season. The Jays end the season in Tampa Bay.
