There are a few who suspect that Drysdale can be lured out of retirement for the 1970 season. Dr. Robert Woods, the Dodger physician, noted that the big pitcher's injury "could heal in several months." Teammate Maury Wills, who quit earlier this year and then returned shortly thereafter, insists that "I know Don is not finished. I think he will be anxious to show up at spring training next year and see if he can come back." Not a chance, says Drysdale. "I'm going to miss it," he says. "Quitting has left me with an empty...
