Following his Hall of Fame baseball career the late Don Drysdale set off on a broadcasting career starting in 1970 with the Montreal Expos and worked with three more teams (Rangers Angels and White Sox) over the next 15 years before signing a lengthy contract with ABC. He joined the Dodgers' broadcasting team in 1988. He provided on-air commentary for the Angels from 1973 to 79 and again in 81. It was during this time with KMPC Radio (AM 710) and the Angels that Drysdale was awarded this impressive broadcasting trophy.
