Bob Gibson, fierce Hall of Fame ace for Cards, dies at 84
Gibson's death came on the 52nd anniversary of perhaps his most overpowering performance, when he struck out a World Series record 17 batters in Game 1 of the 1968 World Series against Detroit. Gibson died less than a month after the death of a longtime teammate, Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock. During the regular season, Gibson struck out more than 200 batters nine times and led the National League in shutouts four times, finishing with 56 in his career. (When the two faced off a decade later, at an old-timers game, Gibson beaned him). Gibson was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1981, and the Cards retired his uniform number.
Man Shows Up at Police Station With Body in His Car, Confesses to 4 Murders: Cops
A Northern California man has been arrested on suspicion of killing four people after he drove to a police station with a body in his car, authorities said. The unidentified male walked into the lobby of Mount Shasta Police and allegedly confessed to killing four people at his home in Roseville, about 200 miles away, cops said. "I have never had someone come in with a body and turn themselves in here," Sgt. Robert Gibson told reporters Tuesday. "He just came in and told our dispatcher that 'I want to confess to a murder,' and just gave it up," Gibson said.
