I remember pretending to be this guy when I was on the mound. {He never smiled when he pitched!}
I wonder who todays soldiers pretended to be when they were little?

Wow, Bob Gibson! Don't forget McCarver on the other end!
Welcome to the Canteen, labette. Thanks for your memories.
Gibson quotes: "An intnentional walk is a waste of 3 pitches" and talking to Tim McCarver during a visit to the mound " The only thing you know about good pitching is that it's hard to hit."
"I remember pretending to be this guy when I was on the mound. {He never smiled when he pitched!}"
Bob Gibson was a fearsome competitor. I was in the right field bleachers at the now-demolished Busch Stadium the night Roberto Clemente hit a bullet off Gibby's right leg, knocking him out for much of the 1967 season.
By the way, The St. Louis Cardinals uniform (particularly the home whites) is unmatched in all of professional sports. Distant second goes to the cool Indian on the Chicago Black Hawks sweaters.

Is that Gibson? Fabuloso pitcher. Don't ever crowd the plate!
