Bob Gibson lost his battle with pancreatic cancer Friday.<\/p>\n

One of baseball’s greatest pitchers and fiercest competitors is gone.<\/p>\n

He was unrelenting, unapologetic, mean, and fabulous on the field.<\/p>\n

There was not an ounce of BS in him, and baseball has truly lost an icon.<\/p>\n

Bob, if there’s one game to win, and I need a right-handed starter, you get the ball.<\/p>\n

Rest in peace, Bob. I loved watching you pitch and compete.<\/p>\n
