Greatest pitcher of the modern era, and I’m a Tigers fan.

Bob Gibson was one of the best pitchers of an era that had many: Juan Marichal, Steve Carlton, etc.

You share my belief that the Tigers and Mickey Lolich (especially) just got lucky in the 1968 World Series? Who saw that coming?

I certainly expected a lot more trouble with converting an outfielder (Mickey Stanley) to a shortstop in the closing days of the season to get Ray Oyler out of the lineup. But that also went pretty smooth.

Not even Gibby could win them all against the 1968 Tigers, and I’m a Cardinals fan.

Hats off to Mickey Lolich.
