    Default Jim Bibby Dead

    LYNCHBURG, Va.(AP) — Former major league pitcher Jim Bibby has
    died. He was 65.
    Community Funeral Home in Lynchburg said Wednesday that Bibby
    died Tuesday night at Lynchburg General Hospital. The cause was
    not disclosed. The family asked for privacy but said a statement
    would be released later.
    Bibby played 12 years in the majors and pitched the first
    no-hitter in Texas Rangers history, beating Oakland 6-0 in 1973.
    He was a member of the Pittsburgh team that won the 1979 World
    Series, starting two games against Baltimore – including the
    deciding seventh game.
    He also played for St. Louis and Cleveland during his major
    league years from 1972 to 1984

    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.
