First, it was Lou Brock, now we have lost Bob Gibson. He seemed so indestructible to me, more than any other St. Louis Cardinals legend.
The 1967 St. Louis Cardinals team was special for me. Not only because they won the World Series that year, but because it was the year I saw my first Cardinal game at Busch Stadium.
