Bob Gibson got his nickname "Hoot" during his early years, and it's said to have come from his childhood. According to Gibson himself, the nickname was a result of a mispronunciation of his last name by his older sister. When she tried to say "Hubert," which was his first name, she accidentally said "Hoot" instead. The nickname stuck and became a part of his identity throughout his professional career.
