If the Fairly link works in the piece, that should send you directly over to the Fairly vs Gibson page. In the book, Gibson says he HATED pitching to the little guys who went up there to spoil pitches and dump singles - but he didn't worry about them if they couldn't hit it over the fence.

The Gibson/Fairly story made me run to B-R.com, and yes, Fairly did ummm ... "Fairly Well" against Gibby in his career (.302 in 197 PAs). But there are some even "odder" guys who did even better ... Bud Harrelson??? Felix Millan??? http://tinyurl.com/ycy5saa Nice write-up, I may have to add that to my reading list.
