A Quote by Tim McCarver

Bob Gibson is the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. He always pitches when the other team doesn't score any runs.

The greatest single moment Ive ever known in Detroit was Jim Northrups triple in the seventh game of the World Series in St. Louis. It was a stunning moment because not only were the Tigers winning a world championship that meant so much to an entire city, they were beating the best pitcher I ever saw-Bob Gibson.

Ernie Harwell

He (Bob Gibson) pitches as though he's double-parked.

Vin Scully

To win Test matches consistently you've got to take 20 wickets - yes, you've got to score runs but if you can't bowl a team out it doesn't matter how many runs you score.

Glenn McGrath

Being an impatient guy, even off the field, I would always look to score runs and score them quickly. Sometimes I panic if runs are not coming.

Gautam Gambhir

Any way I can produce runs and keep runs off the board for the other team, that's what I'm going to try to do.

Dan Uggla

I consider every one of the Disney films that Bob & I worked on, to have been the luckiest break any two songwriters could have ever had. They all aimed at quality and timelessness. That's why they live over the years.

Richard Sherman

A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate - these are the folks who reap the largest rewards.

Ben Bernanke

The only people I ever felt intimidated by in my whole life were Bob Gibson and my Daddy.

Dusty Baker

As a captain and as a player I wanted to lead the team well and score runs, because I know the team still depends on me very much.

Mithali Raj

The best team I played in was the Brazilian one in 2002; we felt that we could always score. It was a team without any vanity - or individuals.

Ronaldo

To me grinding out a good at-bat is pretty much fighting. And it's not trying to do too much with pitches, just finding a way to spoil a good pitcher's pitches, really.

J. D. Martinez

If I categorized home runs that I've seen, without a doubt the monumental one is Henry's... but I've seen a lot of classic, great home runs. Gibson's was probably the most theatrical home run I've ever seen.

Vin Scully

The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he's in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good.

Dizzy Dean

One of my favorite albums is Bob Gibson and Bob Camp, 'At the Gate of Horn.' It was a really dynamic album, almost like The Beatles, and way before its time... around 1960 or so.

Roger McGuinn

You visualize [pitches]. You see it in your head; you think it...I used to play every pitcher in my mind before I went to the ballpark. I started getting ready for ever game the moment I woke up.
