Summary
Pitching dominated this World Series, with Bob Gibson leading the Cardinals. Pack Robert "Bob" Gibson (born November 9, 1935 in Omaha Nebraska) is a former right-handed Baseball Pitcher for the Cy Young winner Jim Lonborg pitched the decisive final game of the regular season, so he was unable to start Game 1. James Reynold Lonborg (born April 16, 1942) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed Starting pitcher who played with the Boston Red Gibson cemented his reputation as an unhittable postseason pitcher in this series, allowing only three total runs over three complete games. His efforts allowed the Cardinals to triumph despite the batting of Yastrzemski (. 500 OBP, . In Baseball statistics, on-base percentage (OBP (sometimes referred to as on-base average ', as the statistic is rarely presented as a true Percentage) 840 SLG), and pitching of Lonborg, who allowed only one run in each of his complete-game wins in Games 2 and 5. In Baseball statistics, slugging percentage (abbreviated SLG) is a popular measure of the power of a hitter.
The decisive Game 7 featured Gibson and Lonborg facing each other for the first time in the series, but Lonborg was starting on only two days' rest, and was unable to compete with Gibson, who only allowed three hits over the course of a complete game. The final score was 7-2, in favor of the Cardinals.
