A look back at Hall-of-Fame pitcher Bob Gibson, who passed away yesterday evening and his series against the Detroit Tigers in 1968.

The most current memory of many Detroit Tigers fans when it comes to the World Series are the two series against the San Francisco Giants and the St Louis Cardinals in 2012 and 2006. Both memories are not exactly the greatest as Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, and Anthony Reyes (sigh…) and Jeff Weaver were some of the names who silenced the Tigers’ bats.
