About this listen
The definitive biography of Dodgers legend Don Drysdale
Larger than Life. In the history of American sports, rare is the athlete who fits that description better than Don Drysdale. On the mound, the towering six-foot-five righthander intimidated National League hitters for more than a decade, amassing career totals of 209 wins, 2,486 strikeouts . . . and hitting 154 batters, a stat he lead the major leagues in four times. Off the field, Drysdale's personality dominated every room he walked into. With a smile as immense as the sun, Drysdale's contemporaries included Frank Sinatra and Howard Cosell.
In Up and In, longtime Orange County Register sportswriter Mark Whicker takes listeners on a remarkable journey through Drysdale's life and career. Featuring exclusive interviews with Drysdale's teammates, broadcasting, and colleagues, this new biography paints a complete portrait of an unparalleled baseball life—from Drysdale's early years in Van Nuys to his sudden passing in 1993 at age fifty-six.
