My fav was Don Drysdale. Big D scared the hell out of everybody. No one could throw chin-music better than him and he loved to intimidate batters.

“My fav was Don Drysdale. Big D scared the hell out of everybody. No one could throw chin-music better than him and he loved to intimidate batters.”

The only player to get the best of Drysdale was the Braves’ Eddie Matthews. A multi-game beanball war between the Braves and the Dodgers in 1957 finally ended when Matthews beat the crap out of Drysdale.

How about Clemens? Hell even through a broken bat at you.

Seriously. Piazza is HOF. But Clemenza would be in if he hadn’t gotten caught with peds
