When I was a kid, I was a Cardinals fan, and Bob Gibson was my favorite player. I lived in Pittsburgh, and was also a huge Pirates fan (Clemente/Stargell era). It wasn’t that weird because they were rarely too competitive with each other in those years. Anyway, my parents took me to see Gibson pitch against the Pirates in the ‘71 season. I scored the game, and told my mom (who I was sitting next to) at the end of three that Gibson had a no-hitter going (I was super-excited). She said something like: “Oh, it’s just the third inning.” Turned out, it was the only no-hitter of his career (August 14, 1971). Blew my mind. I can still see it in my mind to this day. Clemente, btw, didn’t play that day. Always wondered how he would’ve done. But it was sheer baseball magic for me.

I learned so much about pitching from Gibson. One particular game, I gave up a grandslam in the 1st inning. Before the ball got to the plate, I knew itvwas a bad pitch. I turned to watch it, and I turned back to the plate, I noticed the guy was walking up the 1st base line. I got pissed and bored down, determined to pitch to that guy again. 9 up 9 down. His next AB, drilled him in the ribs. Hit the HR, fine, don’t hotdog it. Learned that from Hoot. BTW, we came back to win that game 7-4

Bob Gibson was talking about how he used to get Clemente all excited about the inside corner and brushing him back. What he forgot to say was that on July 15, 1967 Roberto Clemente hit a line drive back to him that resulted in a fractured bone in his right leg.

Here are Gibsons stats from the regular season in 1968. 34 games started, 21 games of 9 innnings pitched (19-2 in those games). 6 games of 8 innings pitched (all losses), 2 games of 7 innings pitched (both no decisions). Here's the kicker....he had a game that he pitched 9 2/3 innings (loss) a 10 innings game (win), 2 11 inning games (1 win, 1 ND) and a 12 inning game (win). Based on a nine inning average he pitched all but 1 1/3 innings for the year. Of his 9 losses he gave up 1 earned run in 3 games, 2 earned runs in 3 games and 3 earned runs in 3 games. That is amazing.

Bob Gibson was a hero of mine when I was a kid in the late 60s. My Dad was and still is a die hard Cardinals fan. So naturally so was I. It turned out that I was a decent little league pitcher. So of course I wanted to be Bob Gibson. I worshipped him. I tried to emulate his pitching style. My Dad for a while called me "Gibby". Thanks for the vid.

This brought back a fun memory! I was 15, living in Indiana, and a big Tiger fan. One of my best friends was a big Cardinals fan. We would jabber at each other about the upcoming series and McLain vs Gibson, who was better etc. etc.-as 15 year old boys will do. Then Gibson struck out 18 in the first game!!! I had nothin' to say! Until, of course, the Tigers came back to win the series 4-3, beating Gibson in game 7. Happy days were here again...

I was 8 in 1967 when I became a lifelong Cardinals fan, and to this day think they had the best team ever. And Gibby had the coolest windup of any pitcher I've ever seen! Al Hrabosky's was second, a distant second.
