On a hot steamy afternoon in July of 1987 against the Atlanta Braves Bob Gibson made his first and only appearance for the Mets. I remember because I was at that game!

I saw the name and thought it would be THE Bob Gibson, who I always thought finished it up with one bad season for the Mets. I guess that Bob Gibson had his last season with the Cardinals and then coached with the Mets.
Unfortunately for this Bob Gibson, I guess the name and their occupation are their common characteristics.

If I recall correctly, this guy had unusually huge feet, size 18 or so -- he was called "Bigfoot."

Should be noted that in the 1991 Mets/Nobody Beats The Wiz 400+ "Every Met to ever play a game for the Mets" set that Bob's card shows the 1981 Met Assistant Pitching Coach. Yup, Hall of Famer Bob Gibson
So in other words, no baseball card seems to exist of the 1987 pitcher as a Met. (Does have a couple from his years with the Brewers though.)

Robert Louis Gibson aka "Bob Gibson (1980s pitcher)" is among the dozens of pitchers who pitched for the Mets to an 0.00 ERA and then was never seen again.
Besides that, the previous post is hilarious about some fake baseball card company using the Hall of Famer's picture on this guy's trading card. I wonder what this guy thought when he saw that, maybe something like, "I am truly an insignificant nothing." Which begs the question:
What the double heck was this young man thinking going by the name "Bob Gibson"? Sure, that's his name, but there is only ONE Bob Gibson. Robert Gibson would have been appropriate for him. Going by "Bob" was just asking for a life of mediocrity.
