Former Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Kirk Gibson, who won the World Series with both teams during the 1980s, revealed Tuesday he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The 57-year-old, who retired from baseball in 1995 before later working as a manager and television analyst, said in a statement released by Fox Sports Detroit he was determined to battle his disease. "I have faced many different obstacles in my life, and have always maintained a strong belief that no matter the circumstances, I could overcome those obstacles," Gibson said. Gibson spent the bulk of his career with the Tigers, helping the team to a World Series title in 1984 before heading to Los Angeles for the 1988 season.
