I collected baseball cards when I was kid. I had shoe boxes full.
I learned much about players by reading the short bio and the career stats on the back of the card.
I remember getting Gibson’s card and thinking it must be a misprint. The stats were jaw dropping. The man could pitch with the best of them. A legend of the game.
Rest In Peace.
If I recall correctly, Gibby had a 1.12 ERA in 1968. Mind boggling. One of the greatest of all time.
