Gigon hit one home run in his short career. It came off Juan Pizarro in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 23, 1967.[1]

In addition to playing pro baseball, Gigon received degrees from both Colby College and Rhode Island University.[2]

Immediately after retiring from pro baseball at the end of the 1967 season, Gigon took the job of baseball coach at Lafayette College.[3]
