He might be the best right-handed pitcher ever.

Bob Gibson was one of a kind. A tough competitor who didn't play around, he got the ball and wanted to throw the next pitch. He has to be considered as one of the best.

Gibson developed a rep as a 'nasty' pitcher. Folks that knew him said he just knew the game and his job...throw the ball and let the batter know he wasn't in charge.

Gibson was also a good hitter. One season he started 32+ games, had 28 complete games and was only pitch-hit for 6 times. Someone once said every pitch he threw, he expected the batter not to hit it.

Always liked pitchers who would hit. Always liked watching Rick Sutcliffe at bat.
