27. Nebraska: Bob Gibson (Omaha)
A phenomenal all-around athlete from Omaha, Gibson played basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters before fully dedicating himself to baseball. Pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals, he was known for his fierce, intimidating demeanor and a devastating slider. He won two Cy Young awards, two World Series MVPs, and authored the greatest pitching season in modern history in 1968, posting a jaw-dropping 1.12 ERA that forced Major League Baseball to lower the pitcher’s mound.
