As overwhelming a pitcher as Bob Gibson was in 1968 (a year my Cardinals didn't win the World Series), he may have been even more impressive the year before. That was the year that Roberto Clemente hit a line drive up the middle that broke Gibson's leg. He pitched to three more batters before coming out, came back a little later in the year, won three games and hit a home run in the Series (which the Cardinals won).

Al Kaline who was with the Detroit Tigers (who won the series) recently passed on. He was a great ball player and a gentleman who spent his entire career with the Tigers. RIP AL.
Yeah, that sucked. And Gibson is, or was, battling pancreatic cancer. Guess all the greats are getting called up to the big club one by one.
