Saw Gibby throw a shut-out in 1968. Lou Brock doubled up a guy off first base, on a line drive hit to left field. I was 7 years old. Hooked!! Later in the mid-70s, saw Gibson get his 2999th strike out. Think he needed ~6 that night for 3000, and came up one shy. In that same game, Hank Aaron got a pinch-hit single during his farewell tour. Great memories.
