Great story from the comment section of the Washington post.
"Steve Stone told this Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver story during a White Sox broadcast right after Tom Seaver passed away.
Tom Seaver was a highly touted rookie pitcher and was going up against Bob Gibson one day. When Seaver came up to bat Gibson stuck a pitch right under Seaver's chin, making Seaver hit the ground. Gibson told Seaver, "Welcome to the big leagues kid."
