Ryan Howard | Josh Gibson – The Greatest Slugger of All-Time

Black Diamonds

Bob Kendrick discusses the epic feats of baseball’s greatest power hitter, Josh Gibson. Hall of Famers Ted Williams, Satchel Paige and Roy Campanella all testified to his incredible ability. His peers recalled Gibson’s home runs as if they were measured in miles, not feet. A larger than life figure, Gibson was often compared to Babe Ruth, with some even calling Ruth – “The White Josh Gibson.” Hear about his prodigious power, the rarity of a catcher employing a five-tool skill set and how his life ended far too soon. NL MVP Ryan Howard joins the conversation to reflect on Gibson’s legacy and place in the baseball record book.
