LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers interviewed former World Series hero and former Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson for their vacant managerial job some time in the last week. The interview was first reported by Jim Bowden of ESPN, and confirmed by Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports and Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
Gibson, who played for the Dodgers from 1988-1990 and hit the most famous home run in franchise history - to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series - managed the Diamondbacks for parts of five seasons from 2010-2014.
