Baseball Talk: Don Drysdale

Had a huge spell of nostalgia for great pitcher Don Drysdale yesterday evening. He's another of my favorites from way back when, so I enjoyed doing some surfing about him and ordered his out of print autobiography. I loved his incredible strength and talent as a pitcher, and had no trouble at all with his brushback ethic!!

"In Brooklyn, it was as though you were in your own little bubble. You were all part of one big, but very close family, and the Dodgers were the main topic of everybody's conversations and you could sense the affection people had for you. I don't know that such a thing exists anymore." Don Drysdale
