Wednesday was an emotional day for Toronto Blue Jays fans as John Gibbons made his final appearance in Toronto as the team’s bench boss. While it hasn’t been a season for Jays fans to celebrate, they had a lot to celebrate on Wednesday afternoon as they picked up a 3-1 victory in Gibbons’ final home appearance.

At the end of the game, the 56-year-old made one final walk to the pitcher’s mound and he got an incredible standing ovation from those in attendance.



While Gibby isn’t exactly going out on a high note, fans gave him the proper send-off he deserved after all the years he spent standing up for the team.



I know there’s no crying in baseball. But. This afternoon Gibby got a big round of applause during a pitching change while Supertramp’s Goodbye Stranger wailed from the speakers and I had a moment. #JohnGibbons #BlueJays pic.twitter.com/zVzru6KlVP — Sarah Burke (@BurkeTalks) September 26, 2018
