On this day in 1971, Gibson pitched a no -hitter against the Pirates. He struck out Willie Stargell to end the game.
Gibson won 251 games with a 2.91 career ERA! He pitched 56 shutouts with 255 complete games. In 1968, he went 22-9, with a 1.12 ERA and 13 shutouts! Awesome pitcher!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
