Gibson's Last Stand - 9780826220127

Bob Gibson remains one of the most unique, complex, and beloved players in Cardinals’ history. His final years on the team are placed within the context of American history and popular culture in this captivating read. During the late 1960s, exorbitant salaries and free agency were threatening to change baseball forever, and Gibson’s pitching success caused team owners to think fans wanted only base hits and home runs. The action of the game, both on and off the field, is interjected with interesting and detailed tidbits on players’ backgrounds that often tie them to famous players of the past, current stars, and well-known contemporary places.
