"Jim Northrup triple - Game 7 1968 World Series - Tigers vs. Cardinals"
From Wayne Smith
I don't think there's a better big game pitcher in the 1960s than St. Louis Cardinals ace pitcher Bob Gibson and that includes Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. But Bob Gibson wasn't perfect in this game, especially when he had to be.

The Detroit Tigers and Cardinals were very evenly matched in 1968 with both clubs having excellent pitching and hitting. The Cardinals might have had a better defense. And when you get to teams that both want the World Series badly and are so evenly matched, you can lose a game like this simply by being less than perfect and not as great as your opponent.
