From their early days in Brooklyn, where the Dodgers year after year vainly went up against their cross-town rivals the New York Yankees until winning the World Series in 1955, to the present day, with the team (now based in Los Angeles) holding the record for the third most victories in major league history, few baseball teams have enjoyed as storied a history or enjoyed as passionate a fan following as these boys in blue. Dodger Blue: The Championship Years is a documentary (produced in affiliation with Major League Baseball) that traces the history of the Dodgers from the club's formation to the 2004 season, and profiles such legendary ballplayers as Jackie Robinson, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Pee Wee Reese, Maury Wills, Fernando Valenzuela, Kirk Gibson, and Steve Garvey. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Mike (Robert Reed) -- architect to the stars that he is -- is designing a house for Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale. He happens to mention to the baseball star that Greg (Barry Williams) is a baseball nut and would love to meet him. Drysdale shows up at the Brady house, watches Greg pitch, and nonchalantly suggests that Greg might one day be a pro-ball player himself. Taking the encouragement as a directive from God, Greg immediately begins obsessing over his future in the majors. Assuming his phenomenal athletic abilities will propel him to baseball stardom, he lets his grades slip. Unable to convince Greg that he might want to finish school, Mike gets Drysdale to show up again and counsel Greg about the many downsides of professional baseball. This episode originally aired on September 25, 1970. ~ All Movie Guide

Season Three of "The Flying Nun" was ushered in on September 17, 1969 with the episode titled "The Big Game." On this occasion, Sr. Bertrille takes over the coaching duties for the Convent San Tanco baseball team-and the result is a staggering 43-to-1 loss! Former Los Angeles Dodgers stars Willie Davis and Don Drysdale are cast respectively as the team manager and the opposition umpire. "The Big Giame" was written by Clifford Goldsmith, whose 1939 Broadway play What a Life served to introduce the character of Henry Aldrich. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June (Barbara Billingsley) are out, Gilbert (Stephen Talbot), Alan (Mark Murray), and Kenny (Dennis Joel) goad Beaver (Jerry Mathers) into making a few prank phone calls. Then they decide to fulfill a lifelong dream by placing a call to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles -- and who should be on the other end of the line than star pitcher Don Drysdale (playing himself)! The kids are thrilled, until they find out how much the call will cost -- nine dollars and thirty-five cents plus tax, infinitely more money than the four pals have between them! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
