The only way Yamamoto could be considered better than Bob Gibson is if you include his resume in Japan, which was awesome and better than any MLB pitcher over the same number of years.
I love this quote, not sure if apocryphal:
"Don't dig in against Bob Gibson. He'll knock you down. He'd knock down his own grandmother. Don't stare at him, don't smile at him, don't talk to him. He doesn't like it. If you happen to hit a home run, don't run too slow and don't run too fast. If you want to celebrate get in the tunnel first.
And if he hits you, don't charge the mound because he's a Golden Gloves boxer." -- Hank Aaron
