First Look: Don Drysdale & Maury Wills Dual Bobblehead

  We're getting a glimpse of the first Dodger bobblehead of 2012, the Don Drysdale & Maury Wills dual bobble. The guys are standing on a patch of grass atop a gold base. In front of both players is a plaque. 1962 Cy Young Award winner in front of Drysdale and 1962 NL MVP in front of Wills. The characteristics on both of them are pretty accurate. I've got to admit they did an excellent job on this one.

This bobblehead will be given away on Saturday, April 28 when the Dodgers play the Washington Nationals.

Don Drysdale Jersey on Antiques Roadshow

Do you have any old family heirlooms in your garage or some strange yard sale find that you want to get appraised? Well just take it to the Antiques Roadshow. Monday, I was scanning through the guide on tv, stopped at KCETHD, when my eye caught the words 'An LA Dodger's jersey worn by pitcher Don Drysdale in 1966'. I watch Antiques Roadshow once in a while, and I love to see people's reactions to the value of their items. Sometimes we see some real cool things on the show.



Monday was one of those episodes. This guy brought in a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey he was issued in 1969 when he played in the winter league. The appraiser said this is something that a lot of the Major League teams did-- they would get the jerseys back from the players after the season and then they would issue them down to the minor leagues. This guy just happened to get Don Drysdale's old jersey. Lucky bastard. It even has "Don Drysdale 66" stitched under the Rawlings tag. The appraiser said the Jersey was worth $20,000-$30,000!
