keep a pitch count on him? Did he pitch any complete games? What a terrific competitor Gibson was. Try taking the ball out of his hand to remove him from the game and do it at your own risk.

He would sometimes bat 8th in the lineup ahead of Dal

Maxwell. I think he hit 5 home runs one season.

Actually, that never occurred

According to Baseball Reference, Gibson started 482 major league games and was in the 9 hole for everyone of them.

Now, he may have pinch hit for Maxwell a few times, I'd buy that.

He hit 5 homers in a season twice, in 1965 and 1972, and hit a total of 24 over his career (plus one each in the 1967 and 1968 World Series).
