Found his autobiography, From Ghetto to Glory, this summer cleaning out my grandparents house.
Real interesting.
The man was about as intimidating as any baseball player in the games history.
Rest In Peace sir.

Damn.....Fuck cancer.

R.I.P. to one of the best pitchers I've ever seen pitch in person.
He was also a very good basketball player at Creighton U. and nearly became a full time member of the legendary Harlem Globetrotters but chose baseball instead.
Smart move to say the least.

"(Hank Aaron told me) 'Don't dig in against Bob Gibson, he'll knock you down. He'd knock down his own grandmother if she dared to challenge him. 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, don't run too fast. If you happen to want to celebrate, get in the tunnel first. And if he hits you, don't charge the mound, because he's a Golden Glove boxer.' I'm like, 'Damn, what about my 17-game hitting streak?' That was the night it ended."
