Michael Wacha on The Legacy of Bob Gibson

This week, Ross is joined by Tampa Bay Rays’ Pitcher, and his former Texas A&M teammate, Michael Wacha to talk about the most intimidating pitcher of all time, St Louis Cardinals, Bob Gibson. Being a former Cardinal himself, Wacha talked about the interactions he had with Gibson during his clubhouse visits, and the unforgettable advice that he left him with. Like many pitchers during his era, Gibson had an unbelievable workload, but it was in those big game moments where he really thrived. Ross and Wacha break down his remarkable World Series stat lines, and whether or not he would still be able to hold his own in today’s league.  00:00:00 - Intro 00:05:47 - Interview with Michael Wacha 00:24:26 - Bob Gibson and the Modern Era  Follow us on social media GOATS: On The Bump (@twitter) Jam Street Media (@twitter) (@instagram) (@facebook) Follow Ross on (@twitter) & (@instagram) Follow Michael Wacha (@twitter)  Learn more about your ad choices.
