In 1971. I was 12 years old. He took a no-hitter into the seventh. Overpowering. He hit Tommie Agee in the head in opening inning of spring training in 1968. Agee hit .217 with 5 Homer’s and 17 RBIs as a result. Fortunately, he bounced back the next year and was instrumental in leading the Mets to the Championship. Gibson and Drysdale were easily the most intimidating pitchers of their era
