Timeline
John Michael Gibbons (born June 8, 1962 ) is an American professional baseball player, coach, and manager.
Gibbons was selected by the New York Mets with the 24th overall pick of the 1980 amateur draft.
He spent the next three years moving up through the Mets minor-league system.
Gibbons played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a catcher with the New York Mets in 1984 and 1986.
In 1984, he was considered to be the Mets' top catching prospect, and was set to start the season in the majors.
However, a collision with the Phillies' Joe Lefebvre in late March landed him on the 15-day disabled list.
He eventually started six games at catcher in April 1984, but batted only .040 in that stretch.
He went back on the disabled list with a sore arm at the end of April, and was sent back to AAA Tidewater after that.
Gibbons was next called up to the majors in the 1986 Mets season.
He appeared in 8 games and batted .474 (9 for 19), but the Mets already had the majors' best catcher in Gary Carter and an established backup in Ed Hearn.
Gibbons served as the Mets' bullpen catcher during the 1986 postseason, and earned a World Series ring when the Mets won the World Series.
Gibbons spent the next four seasons on five different AAA teams.
He retired as a player after the 1990 season.
Gibbons began his coaching career with the Mets in 1990 as a minor league roving catching instructor.
Although they finished 10 games out of first, it was the first time the Jays had finished higher than third since 1993, when they won their second of two consecutive World Series titles.
In 1994, he joined the Mets' South Atlantic League franchise, the Capital City Bombers, as a hitting coach.
Gibbons began his minor-league managing career in the Mets' organization with the Kingsport Mets, guiding them to the Appalachian League championship in 1995.
He followed that by guiding the St. Lucie Mets to the Florida State League title the next season.
In 1998, he led the Eastern League's Binghamton Mets to the playoffs, and then followed that with three seasons as manager of the Norfolk Tides.
He led the Tides to the International League playoffs in 2001.
Gibbons became a coach for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2002 and then became manager in 2004.
Hired by the Toronto Blue Jays' former general manager J. P. Ricciardi in 2002, as a bullpen catcher, Gibbons worked his way up to first base coach in June 2002.
Ricciardi was his former roommate in the minor leagues.
After Ricciardi fired manager Carlos Tosca in 2004, Gibbons was promoted to the manager position.
The Blue Jays went 20–30 with Gibbons at the helm.
At the end of the 2004 regular season, Gibbons signed a one-year contract as the manager for the 2005 season.
He was later given a two-year contract extension just a week into the 2005 season.
Gibbons went on to lead the Jays to an 80–82 record in his first full season as a big league manager.
Toronto ended the season in second place in the American League East division with an 87–75 record, one game ahead of the Boston Red Sox.
He was fired during the 2008 season.
With the Blue Jays mired in a slump that put them five games below .500, Gibbons was fired on June 20, 2008.
He finished with a record of 305 wins and 305 losses.
On October 10, 2008, Gibbons was hired as the bench coach by the Kansas City Royals, replacing Dave Owen, who became the third base coach.
He coached for the Kansas City Royals from 2009 to 2011 and managed in the minor leagues in 2012 before managing the Blue Jays again from 2013 to 2018.
He is currently the bench coach for the New York Mets.
Gibbons was born in Great Falls, Montana, and raised in San Antonio, Texas, where he attended Douglas MacArthur High School.
The son of United States Air Force colonel William Gibbons, he had his first Little League Baseball at-bat while playing in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada, where the family lived temporarily.
Gibbons was hired at the end of the 2011 season to manage the San Diego Padres' Double-A affiliate, the San Antonio Missions.
