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

I'm going to say knocking down batters and the other pitcher might be Joe McGinnity?"I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it."

Hitting a home run and winning that game?Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

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 likeOriginally posted by runningshoes53

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!)A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation. I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel. I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do, play it right and with respect. If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera. - Ryne SandbergComment

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??Comment

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

Drysdale never lost 20 in a season. This is a career achievement, not something based on a single season.Originally posted by Chisox73Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of BaseballComment
