Happy birthday to the legendary Don Drysdale—the man whose fastball scared batters more than Monday mornings! Dodger Stadium still echoes with stories of your remarkable 58⅔ consecutive scoreless innings and your intimidating stare that froze opponents colder than an ice cream headache.From pitching gems in the 1965 World Series to a Cy Young award-winning season in '62, you’ve set records and standards most pitchers can only dream of. Today, we raise our Dodger Dogs high, celebrating not just your fierce competitive spirit and dominant career on the mound—but also that timeless charisma making baseball even better. Cheers, Big D!
