Clemente once broke Bob Gibson’s leg with a hit up the middle, Gibby fell to the ground in pain, then came to his feet. After being examined he was allowed to continue. He faced 3 more batters, walked the first, retired the second, then walked third, before collapsing again. pic.twitter.com/Ey0nPRJtSO

"I could play until 43, but I am not going to. I only want to go couple of more years & then I want to take my money, invest it, & sit on my ass. Baseball's not fun, it's a job. I have been doing it for 15 years & overall I have been playing it every year for 26 years"

Apparently, MLB Network is confused about Mr. Gibson's greatness?

One night Dusty Baker saw Bob Gibson eating in a restaurant. His teammates encouraged him to walk over & say hello. “It’s OK, they told him. It’s away from the field. This is a good time. Bob will be happy to talk.”

Then, while those teammates snickered, Baker and his wife walked… pic.twitter.com/tqa9HJG0Bc
