Bob Gibson's 1968 season is the stuff of legend. It's been at the top of every "greatest season of pitching" list I've ever read. With a 1.12 ERA, and averaging nearly a complete game every start, Gibson's season has been linked to MLB lowering the pitching mound. He was the most dominate pitcher of the "Year of the Pitcher."
It's finally time for Gibson to get a 00-style MLB Showdown card. Needless to say, he basically broke the scale, flying way past Pedro Martinez and 1981 Nolan Ryan, reaching an incredible Tier 0 card while having an IP 9. He's costly, but since you won't be using any bullpen for his starts, I'd say he's worth it!
that may be the scariest card ive ever seen lol if you are going with a pedro, or that new nolan ryan you may as well make the sacrifice somewhere to go with bob gibson instead like you pointed out you probably wont need to use your bullpen unless you are having an awful day of luck on the dice
ReplyDeleteRight?? I was really blown away while making him and understand why MLB decided it was time to lower the mound! He was just so unbelievably dominate and an absolute workhorse. I think he's worth taking #1 overall and just taking the salary abuse.
