He stood 6 ft 5 and wasn't afraid to throw chin music, as his MLB record of 154 hit batsmen will attest. Don Drysdale teamed up with Sandy Koufax to provide the Dodgers with what is arguably the best 1-2 duo in the history of the game. His list of accomplishments is long and very impressive; led the league in strikeouts three times, 167 complete games, and an amazing six consecutive complete game shutouts! That record may be as untouchable as DiMaggio's streak. This was a fun painting to do. I imagined standing in there with shaking knees as Big Don came at you, elbows flying.
