Over 17 seasons with the Cardinals, Bob Gibson won 20 games five times and established himself as the very definition of intimidation, competitiveness, and dignity. One of the best athletes to ever play the game, the ex-Harlem Globetrotter posted a 1.12 ERA in 1968, the lowest figure since 1914, and was named the National League Cy Young Award winner and Most Valuable Player. Known as a premier big-game pitcher, Gibson posted World Series records of seven consecutive wins and 17 strikeouts in a game, and was named World Series MVP in 1964 and 1967.

I thought Bob Gibson was in the HoF?

He is. This forum is about both. Players in the hall of fame and players that are not.

I thought so. But i thought you were giving credentials that should put him in. I just misunderstood.

no. Think of the forum this way...you think someone should be in? Debate it. Compare him to someone that is already in if you wish.

think someone is in the hall of fame that doesnt belong? Debate that as well.

Or just discuss someone that is already in and why you liked his game.

bob gibson was a hell of pitcher. He deserved it.

possibilities are endless.

One of the most intimidating there was and his career #'s are hard to argue.
