On July 15, 1967 at Busch Stadium II, Bob Gibson took a Roberto Clemente smash off his right leg in the fourth inning of the Cardinals-Pittsburgh Pirates game. Typical of Gibson, the righthander stayed in to face three more hitters, unusually walking two of them, before coming out of the game. But there might have been a reason for his control lapse. His leg was found to be broken.
