Bob Gibson (HOF) Autographed 1964 Cardinals Jersey
I know! I know! I am committing a "Cardinal Sin" by being a Cubs fan and having a piece of Cardinals memorabilia!
There are several pitchers that I grew up idolizing! One of them being St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame pitcher, Bob Gibson. Even though I was to young to watch him play, I read books about him and saw plenty of vintage highlight films.
His list of accomplishments are too long to list!!!
This guy was one of the most intimidating and dominate pitchers ever! In 1969 Major League baseball lowered the height of the pitchers mound to make hitting easier for the batters because Bob Gibson had a season Earned Run Average of 1.12 the year before.
Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron had this to say about facing Gibson: "'Don't dig in against Bob Gibson, he'll knock you down. He'd knock down his own grandmother if she dared to challenge him. Don't stare at him, don't smile at him, don't talk to him. He doesn't like it. If you happen to hit a home run, don't run too slow, don't run too fast. If you happen to want to celebrate, get in the tunnel first. And if he hits you, don't charge the mound, because he's a Gold Glove boxer.' I'm like, 'Damn, what about my 17-game hitting streak?' That was the night it ended."
