More than 20 years after his death, the memorabilia of Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Dodgers pitching great Don Drysdale is coming to auction.
The sale will be handled by Laguna Niguel, Calif.-based SCP Auctions and will open on April 6 with more than 1,000 lots as part of the overall event.
“We feel honored to have been chosen by the Drysdale family to bring this extraordinary collection to auction,” said SCP Auctions President David Kohler. “Don was among the most accomplished and revered pitchers in Major League Baseball history and his impressive assemblage of awards and accolades speaks volumes as to his winning ways out on the mound.”
In 14 seasons, he went 209-166 with a 2.95 ERA and 2,486 strikeouts in 3,432 innings for the Dodgers in both Brooklyn and Los Angeles. He was a nine-time All-Star, the 1962 Cy Young Award-winner and a member of three World Series-winning teams before Cooperstown called in 1984.
