Bob Gibson - no pickoffs?

[ipitch]

Bob Gibson never picked off a runner in his career in the regular season (according to this)... http://www.bb-ref.com/pi/shareit/wzfv

Is that really true? It seems very unlikely because he did pick off 2 runners in just 9 World Series games.

I figure it's because he didn't give up many hits or runs in the games he pitched, especially in the world series.

Looking around various sites, it seems like pickoff stats.. how shall I say this... suck.

Compare, for example, Kenny Rogers stats page with this story about his 91st career pickoff on MLB.com.
