Frank Gibson (baseball)

Frank Gilbert Gibson (September 27, 1890 – April 27, 1961) was a Major League Baseball catcher.

[1] After spending 1915 and 1916 with the Little Rock Travelers, he returned to the Texas League in 1917 with the Beaumont Oilers and San Antonio Bronchos.

Following four seasons with the Bronchos (renamed the Bears in 1919), Gibson was purchased from the team by the Boston Braves in August 1920.

In 1925, Gibson was made the club's starting catcher, and he responded by batting .278 and driving in a career-high 50 runs.

Gibson's tenure as a starter would be brief, however, as the Braves acquired veteran catcher Zack Taylor during the next offseason.
