Gibson, 23 years old at the time, was sure he was going to be the one who had to jump into the water to retrieve it.“I just remember saying in my head, ‘Please, no, don’t make me do this,’” Gibson recalled with a smile. “But then Correia thankfully goes, ‘Nah, it’s hot out here anyway, I want to take a swim.’ Two minutes later, they’re both swimming in the fountain, and here I am watching.”Gibson said that was the closest he came to dealing with any “rookie hazing,” noting that when he became a big leaguer in 2013, that aspect of clubhouse culture had mostly faded away.

Every day, he’s sharing nuggets and giving guys information that can help you be a better football player but also just be a better man.

The Vatican said it would provide more details on the pope’s medical progress later in the day.Meanwhile, thousands of people were expected in St. Peter’s Square for a late-afternoon gathering at the Vatican to promote brotherhood — a quality so dear to Francis he wrote an encyclical on its importance in 2020.
