Diminutive Al Jackson, nicknamed “Little Al”, twice took on the formidable Bob Gibson and beat him 1-0, both complete game victories. This occurred just before the Cardinals traded for Jackson in 1966. Jackson went on to help the Redbirds win a pennant and World Series championship as a starter and a reliever. Via phone interview, teammates Dick Hughes and Larry Jaster share their memories of Al while we also give you the highs and lows of Jackson’s exploits with the woeful Mets.
Also, enjoy another edition of a regular feature “Redbird Recall,” where our listeners share memories about their run-ins with players or memories of games or other Cardinal moments. Ricky Carroll of Little Rock, Arkansas, tells us about his elevator run-in with Lars Nootbaar and Victor Scott II.
