[edit] Wording

He was a great baseball player In the opening, talking about his pitches, his "huge" curveball does not fit...I'm going to change it.

No problem with that, but he delivered a curve with an 18" break to Willie Horton in the 1968 series to become his 17th strikeout victim--so "huge" that Horton actually fell back to avoid being hit.--Buckboard 09:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Gibby was actually most famous for his slider, and was incredibly proud of it. Tim McCarver once stated at Steve Carlton's HOF induction that Carlton threw "the best slider I ever caught." Gibby came up and corrected him later, saying "the best _left handed_ slider" Phyrkrakr (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
