Gilbert told the Chicago Tribune’s Jerome Holtzman that during his career he endured through seven and a half years of playing in baseball’s minor leagues because of his ambition to be listed in the Baseball Encyclopedia. In 1992, Gilbert reflected on his baseball career to Holtzman, saying, “I think everybody thought I would flip out after I was told I couldn’t play anymore. I didn’t. I had played 22 straight years of organized baseball, since I was 7. I had had enough. I would have continued playing if I hadn’t hurt my knee. But I was looking forward to doing something else.” He added that his career was worth it: “Absolutely. Everywhere I played I had fun. The most impressive thing being with the White Sox was how congenial everybody was. Carlton Fisk. Harold Baines. Tom Seaver. They were all superstars. Yet they were extremely nice to me and tried to help me as much as they could. No question. It was worth it.”
