The Dodgers had a saying about McCovey: “He hits (Don) Drysdale like he owns him.”
My favorite Drysdale story....
The Dodgers are in The Series but Koufax can't pitch because it's Yom Kippur .... So they start Drysdale instead.
Drysdale proceeds to get hammered. When Walter Alston came to the mound to take him out, Drysdale said 'I bet you wish I was Jewish too.'
