Bob Gibson has died, after a long battle with cancer.
No one who saw him pitch will ever forget him. I wrote about him here a dozen years ago, and this is more or less what it said.
We had been talking about creating an ideal pitcher - this pitch from this guy, this pitch from another guy. Any of us old enough to remember Gibson saw a quick and easy shortcut.
For his best pitch, let's give him... let's see, let's see. I know. Let's give him the best pitch ever. We actually had a poll a couple of years back on this very subject: the toughest Hall of Fame pitch to hit in major league history.
