Bob Gibson's induction into the Hall of Fame only recived 84% of the vote on his first ballot.
I can't believe it was only 84%.

Only 1 player has been unanimous; Mariano Rivera.
I'd put Gibson's performance >> Rivera but I guess that was a different time/age for MLB.

Bob Gibson and Koufax two of the best ever.

On this day in history, the St. Louis Cardinals beat the St. Louis Browns 3-1 to clinch the World Series, four games to two. The 1944 Trolley Series is notable for many reasons:

It was one of only four World Series in which all the games were played in one stadium;

It marked the first time two teams west of the Mississippi River met in the World Series;

It was the only World Series in which no steals were recorded;

It was the last time that a team in the World Series didn't send a single player to the Hall of Fame;

And it would mark the Browns' only appearance in the Fall Classic.
