Gibby was the best to ever pitch for the Cardinals, and might be a top 5 all time pitcher. He was an absolute boss, and one of the meanest to ever take the mound. If he pitched today, no one would dare bat flip him, or the next at bat they'd get a ball to the ear hole.
I remember those felt pennants. We used to get one for every team we saw play. We'd pin them to our bedroom walls. I don't think they make them anymore
Do you really think a guy who pitched in an era where starting pitchers went well over 100 pitches a game isn't a machine just because they didn't dink around and the games used to go faster?
Bob Gibson went completely beast mode!!! What couldn't he do???!!!
One wild wild stat is in 1968 he had “13” Shutouts!!..Unreal!!
I remember him as a kid. He was great!!!!
One of the Greatest Post Season pitchers of All Time. Plus Dude played for the Harlem Globetrotters for a year.
Legendary pitcher. RIP

Bob had the nasty stuff
That year I was born!
Most importantly: he was a Bob
So dominant that the pitcher’s mound was lowered for the 1969 season.
if I had to pick 1 guy in their prime to start game 7 of the world series. This would be the guy I chose
Amen to that. I've said the same thing many times.
I used to see him destroy the New York Mets when i was a kid, he was the best of the best

How about a Gibson vs Koufax game. They rarely went as long as 2 hours. Score was normally 1-0 or 2-1 at most.
I could remember his fastest game was 1:58.. and now no longer due to manager’s appeals
A great pitcher. A horrible human being.
Do you know something? I sure never heard that from anyone who knew him.
@@Dominos-el7qr Truly. In ALL of the interviews I've seen of people who knew him, nothing bad was ever said. There was only admiration for him.
