Two-sport star! In the 1940s, there was also a Harlem Globetrotters baseball team.
Nice image of the Gateway Arch. However, construction on the arch didn't start until 1963, four years after Gibson came up to the Cardinals.
Gibson was MVP of both the 1964 and 1967 World Series, winning a Corvette each time.
Harlem Globetrotters baseball? I wonder if it's similar to the Savannah Bananas.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been The House of David or the Indianapolis Clowns for the baseball version of the Globetrotters
DeleteGot it. I'm pretty sure I've got a card or two featuring The House of David players. Never really knew what they were until now.
DeleteThe owner of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team also started a baseball team with that name in the '40s, it only lasted a few years.
