RIP... Bob Gibson

Deserves to be on this board. One of the best...

Rest in Peace Bob Gibson

I just heard the bad news on MLB Network. He was 84. On a personal note, I had the pleasure of talking to him on several occasions. He was a great teammate. He had a huge impact on the current Cardinal pitchers. Just look at his 1968 stat line: 22-9, 1.12 ERA. How did anyone beat this guy...

I thought he had already died. My bad.

When you can't believe that someone is "that" old, you begin realize that you are no longer young.

I seem like just yesterday I saw pitch in WS against the Red Sox. I was just entering my senior year in high school.

We use the word "great" too often today. Gibson was better than great, he was exceptional. Maybe a better word is "Historical."

Peace be with you, Bob. You'll never be forgotten because you are the standard bearer.

I couldn't have said it better.

So true.

I remember him as big, strong, mean and could belt the ball himself.

My fave pitcher.

Pretty much the last part of my youth gone now.

Honestly when I read the news this song immediately started playing in my head.
