Above, Walter Alson has faith in Don Drysdale … Below, Vice President Nixon says it’s too early to declare whether he will run for president in 1960 … Southern California prepares for a simulated atomic blast … And Dennis Crosby is astonished to discover that his Las Vegas wedding to Pat Sheehan was performed by a Protestant minister and not a justice of the peace. Pat Crosby was granted a divorce in 1964 after testifying that Dennis drank heavily and disappeared for long periods of time …  Dennis committed suicide in 1991 at the age of 56.

  1. Drysdale finished 1958 with a record of 12-13 and an ERA of 4.17. Not a good year for the team, either, despite moving to LA.
    1959 went a smidgen better, for both Drysdale and the Dodgers. 🙂
