{"title":"Bob Gibson","description":"\u003cp\u003eBob Gibson is the Cardinals' fierce ace — a two-time Cy Young winner, two-time World Series MVP, and the pitcher whose 1.12 ERA in 1968 forced MLB to lower the mound the following season. Gibson spent his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1959 to 1975, winning 251 games with a 2.91 lifetime ERA and 3,117 strikeouts while leading the Cardinals to two World Series titles in 1964 and 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968 remains the lowest single-season mark in MLB live-ball history. He struck out a still-record 17 batters in Game 1 of the 1968 World Series. Gibson won two Cy Young Awards (1968, 1970) and the 1968 NL MVP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe card collector's view\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGibson's rookie card is the 1959 Topps #514 — a key St. Louis vintage piece with rising demand in any Cardinals collection.
