I don't think Nolan Ryan had Don Drysdale's reputation for brushing batters until they were out of the batter's box.

Nevertheless, and Great Caesar's Ghost(!) Ryan could throw a ball hard. Getting hit by one of his pitches could take a good deal of humor out of an afternoon.

For Ventura, having his head restructured may have felt good in comparison.

Dodgers would throw Kofax for the 1st game of a series. His 100 + mph fast ball along with his incredible curve along with a touch of wildness set the stage foe Drysdale.
Hitters came up the 2nd game rattled. Don would throw inside.he felt he owned that part of the plate.
He didn’t mind plunking you. Quite enjoyed it.
