In his prime, was The Big Unit the scariest pitcher ever to go up against?

that half season he was with the Astros. we had our first 100 win season .

But a Gibson slider coming at you would probably change your life.

i was listening to mccarver on fox and he said that gibson would actually throw his slider at righthanded hitters and it would freeze them as it would go back over the inside corner

ive never seen that in modern baseball

The Montreal Expos traded him away

two greatest sliders in history are Bob Gibson and one James Augustus Hunter. his was more finesse tho.

Probably Bob Gibson because he would throw at you and would fight you. Nolan Ryan up there too.

Randy Johnson was scary because of how ugly he was tho.

I used to do the in the batting cages at 80 mph fastballs. Some shyt like that coming at me would make me give up sports altogether, become a comic book geek or something

with his mechanics, he didnt even look like he was trying too hard. i could imagine that would be demoralizing if you are at bat just dying out there
