Reply #19: Bob Gibson, St.Louis Cardinals

[autorank]

He Koufax & Drysdale were contemporaries. Koufax was amasing 18-20 strike outs a game.
The man worked like a Trojan.

Drysdale was solid, gifted, and mean.

But Bob Gibson...damn he was great and he had the best attitude.

(This is the only time in
his life Bob Gibson smiled)

He was offended when people got hits and also when they came to the place trying to get a hit.
He'd blow it right past you,brush you back, fake you out. He held grudges forever. He's still mad
at some hitters for getting hits off of him.

Gibson and Drysdale had the same attitude that you see in big brothers in large families - obey me damn it! or you'll be sorry. All three DOMINATED!!!
