On June 26, 1968, Bob Gibson shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 3–0 — nine innings, four hits, no walks — for his fifth straight shutout, in the middle of the most untouchable season a pitcher has ever thrown. This is the night the zeros stopped feeling like luck and started feeling like a law of physics. A two-voice walk back through one date on the Cardinals calendar, from the Year of the Pitcher.
