Above, Walter Alson has faith in Don Drysdale ... Below, Vice President Nixon says it's too early to declare whether he will run for president in 1960 ... Southern California prepares for a simulated atomic blast ... And Dennis Crosby is astonished to discover that his Las Vegas wedding to Pat Sheehan was performed by a Protestant minister and not a justice of the peace. Pat Crosby was granted a divorce in 1964 after testifying that Dennis drank heavily and disappeared for long periods of time ...  Dennis committed suicide in 1991 at the age of 56.

Drysdale finished 1958 with a record of 12-13 and an ERA of 4.17. Not a good year for the team, either, despite moving to LA.

1959 went a smidgen better, for both Drysdale and the Dodgers. :)
