and the Big Sur in California. “We’ve gone from one end of the country to all four corners by RV,” Gibson shared. “It’s been really a wonderful life for us. We’ve met a lot of very, very nice people along the way.”
“I’ve had a lot of interesting experiences [on the road]. RVing teaches you a little humility,” acknowledged Gibson, sporting a relaxed appearance, fit and younger-looking than his age.
Intimidating and dominating on the mound during his 16-year career with the Cardinals, Gibson won two Cy Young Awards, two World Series MVP awards, nine Gold Gloves and the National League MVP trophy in 1968. That year’s season-long performance is frequently referred to as the greatest ever by a pitcher. He was also named a member of baseball’s All-Century Team.
Gibson made his remarks at a November 29 award ceremony in Louisville, Ky., during the opening breakfast of the 43rd Annual National RV Trade Show, the industry’s premier business event sponsored by Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).
