Kyle and Elizabeth Gibson met during their freshman year at college, and in 2010 they were married.
Kyle Benjamin Gibson is a successful professional baseball player with an impressive career so far.
While it is generally difficult for baseball players to make a name for themselves at the start of their career, Kyle seemed to have it differently.
First, he was named to the Indiana All-Star team and recognized as an All-East player of the year while in high school.
Next, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2006 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft, although he didn’t commit to them, he rather committed to the Missouri Tiger of the University of Missouri where he met his wife, Elizabeth Gibson.
He was soon drafted by the Minnesota Twins for the 2009 MLB draft and in 2013, he made his professional debut as an MLB player.
Through and through, he has had the loving presence of his wife Elizabeth.
