Tim McCarver tells some great stories about him. Several had nothing to do with baseball really, but rather how he educated McCarver about race.
One was this. In the clubhouse after a game, McCarver tells Gibson, there's a colored gentleman here to see you. Oh? says Gibson. What color is he?
I thought it was priceless.
Maybe the greatest stare from the mound in the history of the game.
