Jake Gibbs
Jerry Dean (Jake) Gibbs (born November 7, 1938 in Grenada, Mississippi), is a former Major League Baseball player who played for the New York Yankees as a platoon catcher from 1962 to 1971. His strong hit record in 1968 earned him the nickname "Dead-Eye" Gibbs. An All-American quarterback at the University of Mississippi, Gibbs decided instead to go pro in baseball despite being drafted by the AFL's Houston Oilers and NFL's Cleveland Browns in 1961. He played his final game on September 29, 1971. During his senior year, Gibbs led Ole Miss to a 10-0-1 record and were voted National Champions in college football according to one poll, the Dunkel Index. In 1995, Gibbs was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. In 1972 Gibbs coached an Ole Miss baseball team which won the SEC championship, set an SEC record for consecutive conference wins, and went to Omaha for the College World Series.
