Wow, Drub Oil!

[KCGHOST]

Since 1900 Don Drysdale did "this" more than any other pitcher, but one. What is "this" and who is the other pitcher??

[runningshoes]

I'm going to say knocking down batters and the other pitcher might be Joe McGinnity?

Hey, who knows, but I doubt it. No, this is something documentable.

Hitting a home run and winning that game?

Not that I know of.

Mind If I ask what drub oil is?

Mind If I ask what drub oil is?I believe the entire phrase "wow drub oil" is an anagram for the answer to the question. It took me a while until someone explained that. So it would be like
Rob Woudwil

Drysdale holds the modern NL record for hit batters, 154. Walter Johnson had 205 to lead MLB.

Drysdale held the record for consecutive scoreless innings, 58.0, until broken by Orel Hershiser, 59.0

Is Wilbur Wood the other pitcher? (Wilber Wood = Wow, Drub Oil!)

[janduscframe]

I'll just guess hit batters? I know Drysdale worked them close and with Wood the knuckler, who knows? Or maybe it's wild pitches??

Wilbur Wood is the other guy, but this has nothing to do with HBP's. Beside Johnson, six other pitchers in the modern era have hit more batters.

Last guy to win and lose 20 games in a season?

Drysdale never lost 20 in a season. This is a career achievement, not something based on a single season.

Wood and Drysdale are the only 2 pitchers since 1900 to have started at least 40 games in 5 consecutive years

Wood - 1971 to 1975
Drysdale - 1962 to 1966

That is exactly right!!

[janduscframe]

That's a great question. One that will probably stand long after we are gone.
