On this date 55 years ago, Roberto Clemente hit a scorching line drive that broke Bob Gibson's leg. Undeterred, Gibson pitched to three more Pirates hitters before snapping the bone entirely and being carried off the field.
Three months later, Gibson won three World Series games to lead St. Louis to the 1967 championship.
