Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2822089, member: 5798"] Former Los Angels Dodger pitcher Don Drysdale had the same exact policy. One of ours go down, two of yours go down. That was 56 years ago. As with Bob Gibson, you did not want to get hit by a Drysdale fastball. Both men threw extremely hard. They were power pitchers who had no problem throwing inside. THAT was/is the culture in baseball. A culture that was born in the late 1800's, and has survived to this day. :( Cleveland Indians shortstop [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Chapman'][B]Ray Chapman[/B][/URL] was hit in the head by a pitch thrown by Yankees pitcher Carl Mays on August 16, 1920, and [B]died[/B] 12 hours later. He remains the only [B]Major League Baseball[/B] player to [B]have died[/B] from an injury received during an [B]MLB[/B] game. It can/has happen!!! :mad: [ATTACH=full]33915[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
