Gibson’s ‘68 season is one for the ages. 1.12 ERA and 13 (13!) shutouts.

Gibson appeared in 27 games where he drove in more runs than the opponent scored.    Some dude is still researching other candidates .  Thus far Drysdale has 24 such instances.

Pretty good rock band could be formed this year between EVH and N. Peart passing this year.

Van Halen was my first concert in 1986.  Talk about deep memories from childhood.  His guitar sound is so distinctive.

I saw them live for the 5150, OU812, and F.U.C.K. tours.  Eddie has been covered and mimicked by some amazing guitarists, but nobody will ever be able to duplicate his ability and sound.
