Don Drysdale: Big D in Dodger Blue from Legends of the Mound

Don Drysdale — The Long Arm of the Law

Don Drysdale brought fear, fire, and finesse to the mound. Towering at six-foot-five, he pitched like a man on a mission — brushing back hitters, owning the inside corner, and never backing down. With a record-setting 58 and two-thirds scoreless innings in 1968, he enforced order with heat and command. They called him Big D — and when he pitched, the law was laid down in Dodger Blue.

Now, here’s the track: Don Drysdale — The Long Arm of the Law, from the album Legends of the Bat.

Bernard: Don Drysdale Big D In
Dodger Blue: Legends of the Mound

Don Drysdale brought fear,
fire, and finesse to the mound.

Towering at six-foot-five, he pitched
like a man on a mission — brushing

back hitters, owning the inside
corner, and never backing down.

With a record-setting 58 and two-thirds
scoreless innings in 1968, he

enforced order with heat and command.

They called him Big D — and
when he pitched, the law was

laid down in Dodger Blue.

Walked in, like the lights were di
a six five echo underneath the brim.

Fast ball, low corner, tight
on the zone on the night.

It

browse her gas when he pitched heat.

He wasn't cool, just hard to beat.

The Dodgers knew.

Held the plate.

A swagger wrapped in silver fate.

Big D.

The strikes on King D
made the dugout swing.

He played it.

He played it.

Rough game.

On hell of a

six shut.

Ran the street long.

He didn't dwell.

He just moved on.

No, no flashy show.

He pitched like rhythm in stereo.

He not your friend.

When he gets in stride with
every step, baters, hide.

He's not your buddy.

Just respect, earn.

When Big D is on the mound, the heat.

Big

D.
