HOF P Bob Gibson Curveball
UNHITTABLE.
I talked with my dad a while back and asked how in the world did Bob Gibson lose any games with a 1.12 ERA (still the record).
He wound up 22-9 that year

13 of those wins were shutouts.
The Cardinals' offensive output was pretty sporadic. They only led 1 offensive category (triples) and were second in only two categories (doubles and steals).

@RLE0352
Damn, 13 shutouts must STILL be the record also. Imagine if these steriod guys had to face him? Or worse, if he was taking steriods?

Curve Ball
I read some where, that He had an unbeatable 'Spit ball'. The Umpires just couldn't figure out how he did it! S/F!!! Ken

Gibson also had a 100 MPH Fastball that was unhitable.
Gaylord Perry had a spitter that was unbeliveable.

Couldn't even pay this Man to pitch today. These guys today don't even pitch 5 innings without bullpen assistance.
I see that Gibson had a few years with over 300 innings and a few in the upper 270's - 290's
And he was facing Men like Clemente, Stargell, Mays, Aaron, Cepeda and Mcovey....The to win a WS he had to face Mantle, Maris and Yaz

Here is my son throwing a mid 90 mph wiffle ball.
He plays wiffle ball tournaments for fun, seldom makes any money at it, his hard ball days are behind him.

@CH53MetalMan,
That is sweet. Was that you he was striking out?

I can't even hit a foul ball off him, so there is no sense getting me in a video w/him pitching.
Here is more of him throwing.
