Oct 2025

Bob Gibson pitched and won a total of 7 full games in the World Series.

He achieved a 7-2 record in his nine World Series appearances, with all seven of his wins coming in complete games.

He holds the record for the most consecutive World Series wins (7) and the most consecutive complete games (8).

He was a machine.
