Steve Carlton came up through the Cardinals organization. He was a pitcher with potential. Gibson took him under his wing and tutored him. Carlton was traded to the Phillies for Rick Wise. Both wanted new contracts and held out. They both ended up getting around 80 thousand dollars a year anyway. The Phillies made out on that trade. Gibson and Carlton took the ball and pitched. They wasted no time on the mound. They faced each other and had short games. None of these games that last past midnight. You might have been in bed by 10 P.M. if you went to a game with these guys. RIP Bob Gibson. One of the greats!Sad to see both Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver pass away in the last month.
Two of the most dominating pitchers I ever saw.
There was a time in the late 60s when Gibson was almost unhittable. 1.12 ERA in 1968
Like Seaver, he was a very intelligent man and had amazing insights into the game
back then, they didn't use relievers no where near like they do todayAs I recall a 1.12 ERA with like 34 starts and 304 2/3 innings pitched.i hear good things. he was friends with Reggie Jackson. sad i never saw him play
Cardinals Hall of Famer Bob Gibson dies at 84 after bout with cancer
The franchise's greatest pitcher's passing came on the 52nd anniversary of perhaps his greatest game, a record 17-strikeout performance in Game 1 of the 1968 World Series.www.stltoday.com
Now, someone help me out with this...
34 starts x 9 innings is 306 innings. Right?
He pitched 304 and 2/3 innings. How is that possible?
Gibson had a natural talent, the innate ability to do amazing things that other players have to be taught

The mound visits were shorter. Especially with Gibson who would usually just snarl "Get outta here! You don't know nothing about pitching!"Steve Carlton came up through the Cardinals organization.

Or the thing I heard once was a pitcher telling his catcher, "The only thing you know about pitching is that you can't hit."
