One more thing about the 1968 Series. In Game One, Gibson pitched for the Cards against the Tigers and Denny McClain. Gibson struck out seventeen - 17! - en route to a complete game 4 - 0 shutout. Yes he lost Game 7 but that Game One....

I would put the ‘68 Series as the third best WS in my lifetime, next to the 75 Reds-Sox series, and last year’s World Series (which I don’t know will ever be topped).

And for the record, Gibson's ERA for the 1968 season was 1.12... yet he still lost nine games!
He was also a heckuva basketball player at Creighton.
