Was coming here to post this. It’s sad to lose another legend.

Cardinals Hall of Famer Bob Gibson dies at 84 after bout with cancer — St. Louis Post-Dispatch

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.

Right after Seaver passed away, we were thinking that Gibson was close behind due to his health...

Seaver, Brock and now Gibson. Sad year for the Hall of Famers dying.

A fourth, Al Kaline, died in April.

Very sad new. RIP MR Gibson.

Probably the meanest, toughest SOB to ever pitch.

I remember McCarver, his best Catcher, talking about Gibby hitting him on purpose in a intra-squad game.

But man, helluva pitcher. RIP...

One of the nicest in person autographs I ever met.

I got a chance to get a Bob Gibson IP autograph at the 2001 AS Fan Fest in Seattle. I was w/o my cards unfortunately (they were in storage at the time), so just got a modern GOTG card signed that someone in line graciously gave to me! Still a cool experience, although I would have had a vintage card signed if possible. I didn't have his RC, but a nice 61 would have been cool.

isn't it great that we have this special hobby of collecting their cards? this is how we contribute to helping to keep their legacy alive.

Had the wonderful opportunity to meet him a few years back at the National. Nothing but class! He will be missed.

Amen, brother.
