I saw Gibson pitch a game against the Padres in the early seventies and he pitched a complete game 9-4 win. He struck out 10, gave up ten hits, but hit a three run homer himself.

To cap it off a fast Padre hit a high hopper between the mound and second base. Gibson leaped in the air and with his back to first fired backhanded to first and beat the runner by a half step. Very Globetrotter like play.

The single A Pudres? Who'd a thunk? The more they change, the more they remain the same. Today, Kimbrel for four magic beans from Bean Town. Call it what is: a salary dump a la Tom Werner's fire sale. Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack the thread. Outrage overcame me.

Sorry man, I remember watching Tony Gwynn get his 2000th hit back in about 1993. Longest standing ovation I have ever witnessed in person at a ballpark. He was one of my favorite non Cardinals.
