I read Bob Gibson's (and Reggie Jackson's) book. He probably addressed that, but I don't remember an anecdote on that--my memory sucks. My doctor recommended that I take that supplement Prevagen to help with my memory, but I keep forgetting.
Pete LaCock's Storytelling:
Pete LaCock, Bob Gibson, And Reality
The former Cubs first baseman, son of Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall, had a brief career in the major leagues, during which he had a couple of run-ins with Hall of Famer Bob Gibson. Or did he?

Yup monster start from Sproat! Fantastic to see.
Also great to see Allan back on a mound. If he can make it back to pitch in an actual game at some point that would be incredible considering how many injuries he's been through.

Great job from our players we traded for. Still kept the minor league in tact.
Hopefully not! Want to see him pitch next week in Somerset!!
Binghamton is in Somerset next week Tues-Sunday if anyone was looking to go.
If it was closer I would go
Disappointed with the SAL and their scheduling this year. The Cyclones are already done playing the BlueClaws here. Just a few games in Brooklyn left.
Yeah I remember we spoke about that a while ago. I was disappointed as well as I wanted to go and hit up the new Icarus brewery. Something to do for next year I suppose!
Somerset is nice as well if you ever get over there.
It is. Just too much of a hassle to get there from where I am.
I wish/hope the Trenton Thunder become a real affiliated minor league team again.
That park could be AAA if it ever happens.
Move him on up to AAA. Don't want to slow play these college players too much once they show they're ready for another level. Too many not making it up to the big until they're close to 25.
You called it!! Promoted to AAA.
Selfishly I'm upset now because I wanted to see him next week. Oh well.
Tons of missed played balls that are not “technically” errors
Vientos getting better but is still below average

Demoralizing loss and very poor managed game by Mendoza.
Mendoza stayed with Brazoban too long. He was gassed. Should have been pulled after the walk.
Didn’t agree with him pinch running Iglesias for Vientos
Via the above, He couldn’t pinch hit Iglesias for Torrens or Taylor. Both are atrocious.

Paul Simon also said, "I always get very calm with baseball." You can look it up. https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/paul-simon-quotes
Paul Simon is also a Yankee fan.
Bridge over Troubled Water is his best song ! A Gem!
Mets are meddling in very troubled waters right now !

Is Pete's value dropping? Will the Mets make an offer similar to what they offered him back last year/ off-season or less?
IMO, with Boras as his new agent, pride becomes a big issue. So much an issue Pete is likely moving on to a new team for a fresh start.
Pete has hurt himself and either benefited us or hurt us. If we know that this is a one off and that he would be back to his 40+ 110+, then a $25 per year is cool for all. But, if we go based on this year- I cant see him getting more that 5/110 from anyone. So, maybe he takes that from us because he knows he has another $20mil or so off the field here or he goes to someone else because he feels hurt we didnt offer more than anyone else.
