LYNCHBURG, Va.(AP) — Former major league pitcher Jim Bibby has
died. He was 65.
Community Funeral Home in Lynchburg said Wednesday that Bibby

deciding seventh game.
He also played for St. Louis and Cleveland during his major
league years from 1972 to 1984

He was before my time, but sounds like he was pretty good damn good. Wish I got to see him pitch, RIP.

I have seen him pitch many times. He was a pretty good thrower.

What I remember most about him was how he would sweat. By the first inning he was soaked.
