His arm got a lot of rest and there was hell to pay.
That 14 1-0 games stat is all wrong. The stat may have been he lost 14 1-0 games in his career. In '68 his log included 13 different 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1 games, 15 shutouts both ways ... Gibson with 12 shutouts, none in April or May, 12 of his last 23 starts were he pitched a CG shutout. World Series Game 1, Gibby shutout. WS Game 4, Gibby allows 1 run in win. Both 5-hitters. Game 7 is history. Different era.
