I probably suppressed Gibson's name because I'm still traumatized by what he did to my Red Sox in 1967!

I watched my first and so far last world series with my brother in 1967 and at the time knew all of the names of our team--can't remember them now but do remember Curt Flood, Bob Gibson, and Julio Javier.
