News about Bob Gibson

Manfred's chief went to Globe Life Field for ceremonial proceedings - a annual tradition in the fall for the league's commissioner, who has been in charge since 2015, but only for fans to hear his hoarseness. '63 years is a long time to wait, but the Texas Rangers are the World Series champions,' Manfred said from Arlington, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, while struggling to recognize the mic.'

Corey Seager joined three Hall of Famers, pitching 1,270 feet of home runs and winning the Texas Rangers their first World Series title. With his trio of two-run homers against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Seager joined Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, and Reggie Jackson as the only two-time World Series Most Valuable Players. His ability to punctuate the postseason with big hits has been as consistent as his tense on-field demeanor, which faltered briefly after his tying homer late in Game 1.

Bobby Bolin, the former San Francisco Giants hurler who appeared in two World Series games in 1962, has died at the age of 84. In his online obituary, there was no reason given for his death. Bolin's funeral date is listed as June 2 at the Robinson Funeral Home in South Carolina. Bolin was briefly converted into one of baseball's most reliable starters in 1968, when it later became known as the 'Year of the Pitcher.' In a Giants staff led by Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry, the South Carolina native finished second to St. Louis Cardinals legend Bob Gibson with a miniscule 1.99 ERA. Bolin won his first pennant in 1962 before the Giants lost the World Series to the hated New York Yankees.
