NPI WAS RIGHT; GIBSON
REPEATS
Two weeks ago this columnist
speculated that history might
well repeat itself for the 1967
National League champions St.
Louis Cardinals and Bob Gib
son, The observation was made,
in fact, that Gibson could
emerge the '67 Series hero just
as he did in '64.
Well, the events of the just
conduded series proved those
speculations to be correct, with
only a few variations on the plus
and minus side of the ledger.
While the fast-balling Gibson
was again the savior for the
scrappy Redhtrds; the drama
tic hero, and the acclaimed
“Outstanding Player of the Se
ries,’ the surprising Boston
Red Sox, a never-say-die, Cin
derella team, extended the
Cards “down the wire” to the
seventh and final game. This
writer had predicted that it
would have taken the ‘Birds no
name than six games to wrap
it up.
The other variation and a big
one it was, indeed, was the fact
that Gibson and the Cardinals
received a great assist from a
little fellow named Lou Brock.
In fact, when the history of the
*67 Series is written, it should
be put down that the Bean {.own
ers lost because they saw ton
much of Bob Gibson and Lou
Brock.
While Gibs mi was pitching the
Red Sox dizzy, Brock was run
ning ’em ragged, and therein
lies the key to the Cardinals
victory. In short, the Soxfpunri
by .Jack Freeman, Fayetteville,
football, basket bail and track;
Coley Little, Jr., Kinston, foot
ball and track, along with
Roosevelt Wright, Roseboro,
basket ball and baseball.
!t was also of much con
cern that the game had little
charm for the most recent play
ers. There was only one play
er for the class of “59, ” James
Brayboy, Fayetteville, basket
ball and baseball. Only Os
bon B. Jones, Fayetteville, foot
ball, was on hand for the class
of “60.” Alexander Gerald,
Durham, baseball and basket
ball, was the only “61“ repre
sentative. Hayes E, Streeter,
Richmond, football, “65,“ had
no partner. There were only
two for “66," Jack Johnson,
Fayetteville, football, and
Samuel Vines, Morehead City,
track. George Wesley Allen
was the or 1 ” 1967 representa
tive. He was a track star and
lives in Spartanburg, S. C.
Gibson and Brock an unbeat
able combination.
It was amazing, however, how
nearly the feats of Gibson in
this autumn classic matched his
'64 achievements. Bob was the
big winner for the Cards to
the finale, Just as to *64, with
all the post-game trappings.
As was the case four years
ago, he was the pitching victor
in the final game, and he won
another sports car as the Series
outstanding performer. More
over, he pitched with the same
fury, dexterity, and artistry to
win for the Cards this time.
Bob set a strikeout record
of 31 to the f 64 Series, which he
couldn’t match to this one. But
this time Gibson and Brock vir
tually rewrote the baseball rec
ord book.
Bob became only the second
pitcher to allow just 14 hits in
three series contests, match
ing the feat erf the late Christy
Mathewsoa. He was also only
the second pitcher i}ie Yan
kees Red Ruffing was the other
to win five successive complete
victories (including two from
the ’64 classic). And he be
came the seventh pitcher to win
three complete series games
without a loss.
And what made Gibson’s feat
this time all the more amazing
(although many observers ei
ther didn't realize it at the time)
was the fact that he had suf
fered a broken leg last July
15 that kept him out of the line
up until Sept. 6.
Now for Brock. AH the ir
repressible left fielder did was
set a flock of records to back
up Gibson, while frustrating the
Red Sox at the plate and on the
base paths. Lou wound up with
the series’ highest batting aver
age (.414), stole the most bases
to a seven-game series (7) t
and set yet another mark by
snipping three bases in a sin
gle Inning in series play,
Lou, too was awarded a
sports car by the st. Louis
radio statical that broadcasts
Cardinals games, because ttoe
station* s management left
Brock’s contribution equaHad
Gibson’s. However, there was
no begrudging by Gibson erf the
speed merchant who had help
him so tremendously in the?
series.

whose name was lost to this
