Jeff Torborg reminiscing about Don Drysdale

Dodgers catcher Jeff Torborg reminiscing about Hall of Fame pitcher, Don Drysdale: “In those days, hitters would dig a hole and really get anchored with their back foot. Willie Mays dug in sometimes with both feet and he looked up and realized it was Drysdale. I don’t think he was even thinking at the time. He called time out and filled up the hole as if to say, ‘I made a mistake. I didn’t realize he was pitching.’ VROOOOM, down he went.”
