Bob Gibson

Both the Gibson and Hollins families at one time lived in the Logan Fontenelle low income

On the 50th anniversary of your only no-hitter..Thank you. I was that little boy

You were the reason I became a baseball fan & the reason I first became a St. Louis Cardinal fan I enjoyed your fierce competitive ways of playing the game & I played with the same type fire in my playing days You will always be my all time favorite ballplayer ! My GM. #7 pitcher ! There is no other for me bar none ! I will always cherish the opportunity I had to see you play May you rest in peace

Bob was a classmate at Tech High with my best friend, Tom Nigro. I started my Freshman year at Tech High in 1953, the year Bob graduated from Tech High. From my best friend, Tom Nigro, I heard all about Bob and his time at Tech High. I have lived in St. Louis now for 50 years, so have a connection to Bob, in a sense, that goes back to Tech High and now to St. Louis.

First of all, to the family of Mr. Gibson ,my deepest condolences, and thank you for sharing him with the world.
As a son of a die hard Cardinals fan, number 45 was the first number I ever put on the back of a t shirt.
RIP and thank you for the memories.

I grew up watching Cardinals baseball at Stl Busch Stadium. My grandpa took us to see the infamous Bob Gibson on the mound.pst memorable experiences if my childhood. SO SORRY to hear of a legend lost. GOD bless! We are all better for having his impact on our lives.

Condolence and Sympathy to the Gibson's Family.
