Wikipedia-Article "Jay Gibbons"

Jay Gibbons is a baseball player with the Baltimore Orioles. The first baseman and rightfielder has spent all four years he has spent in the majors with the Orioles organization.

In 2003, Gibbons (nicknamed "Gibby") had an excellent season. Playing in a career-high 160 games, Gibbons established career-bests in batting average, home runs, and RBI. His final stats were: .277 average, 23 home runs, and 100 RBIs (a team high). He was voted Team MVP for the year of 2003.

In 2004, Gibbons suffered multiple injuries and only played in 97 games. Because of his hobbling injuries, his numbers plummeted: his batting average was a mere .246, and he hit only 10 homers. After the 2004 season, he had LASIK eye surgery to improve his declining eyesight, which went from 20-10 to 20-35 in only a few months.

Jay hails from Rochester, Michigan (USA) and played college ball at Cal State-L.A.. He is reputed to be the nephew of late former Massachusetts Governor Endicott "Chub" Peabody. He will probably be best remembered outside of Baltimore for being the person at the plate during the movie Wedding Crashers.
