 | Josh Gibson Enters Hall Of Fame Wednesday, January 4th, 2006 662 home runs, 2682 hits and 1939 RBIs are the stuff of legend, but Josh Gibson doesn't see it that way. "For me, baseball is about the team winning. I could have taken an 0-for-4 that day, but if our team won, I don't think you could have come into the locker room and been able to tell that I did not get a hit because the most important thing to me was that we won. That was what we intended to do when we took the field. That's what it was about." Fortunately for baseball's newest immortal, he had far more good days than bad days. That's why Gibson has been installed into the Awesome Bigley Baseball Association Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association. In his historic career the standout catcher participated in 2460 games, batted .297, scored 1758 runs... and won a few games, too. |   |
