Over 17 seasons with the Cardinals, Bob Gibson won 20 games five times and established himself as
the very definition of intimidation, competitiveness, and dignity. One of the best athletes to
ever play the game, the ex-Harlem Globetrotter posted a 1.12 ERA in 1968, the lowest figure since
1914, and was named the National League Cy Young Award winner and Most Valuable Player. Known as
a premier big-game pitcher, Gibson posted World Series records of seven consecutive wins and
17 strikeouts in a game, and was named World Series MVP in 1964 and 1967.
