No post war pitcher had a better season than Gibson in 1968. He started 34 games and completed 28. He pitched a total of 304 innings. His ERA was a microscopic 1.12 with 13 shut outs. He finished the season at 22-9. Oh, his WHIP was .853.
How weak was the Cardinals' line-up? Gibby lost 9 games.
Best RH pitcher I ever saw.
