Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s been a lot of gloomy stuff going around. Altogether too much of it, frankly. So here, apropos of whatever, to counterbalance that gloomiosity, a man who brought joy to my yute in giant carts full — and who still does.
Wow! Oooooooooooooooooh! Lah dah dee dah da deeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hah! Wow!

I was a teenager in 1960's. Mets fan. Went to a bunch of Mets games at Shea (& ALSO Yankees games). But Bob Gibson was the "must watch" player of that era. Not afraid to pitch up & in. Pitcher's mound was 15" high then, & he was terrifying. If Cardinals were on TV, I watched.
August 19, 1968: @Cardinals legend Bob Gibson strikes out @Phillies legend Dick Allen (15) in the bottom of the 1st inning. After this performance (9 IP, 0 R, 11 SO), Gibson improved to 18-5, 1.00 ERA.
