Don Drysdale was a workhorse, leading the National League in games started every year from 1962 to 1965, as well as in innings pitched in 1962 and 1964. He never missed a start. One of the best hitting pitchers of his day, he led NL pitchers in homers four times, twice tying the NL record of seven. His career total of 29 home runs ranks second in NL history. In 1965 he hit .300 and slugged .508, pinch hit frequently, and achieved the rare feat of winning 20 games and hitting .300 in the same year. Don Drysdale was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984 and will be remembered as one of the most feared and dominating pitchers of all time. This is the finest Drysdale Bat in the hobby.
