OUCH! This one hurts. Condolences to Bob Gibson’s family and friends! One of my favorites. One of THE GRRRRREATS. The 1968 series with the Tigers was classic. Mickey Lolich the donut peddler and many others to the rescue. Read up on this one sportsfans.
I used to love sports. I went to CMU on a baseball scholarship. I was a pitcher. 5-0 on the freshman team with a 0.89 ERA. It was a school record at the time. Home that summer I found something I liked more than baseball. Girls. Bye bye baseball.
I’ll sign autographs for the cardboard fans this afternoon.
Boy have I got some baseball stories.
Thanks, Mr. Bob Gibson. R.I.P., sir.

As a lifelong Cardinals fan, this is certainly sad news, indeed.
Bob Gibson was beyond extraordinary and, in reality, a bit underappreciated. Incredible talent and a bulldog, too.
I’m righthanded but learned to bat lefthanded to emulate my baseball hero, Stan Musial.
I still recall the heartbreaking ‘68 series...and Curt Flood misjudging that flyball that cost the Cardinals the series.
