I remember the name but doubt that I ever saw him play.
Never got over Drysdale's election to the Hall of Fame, while he languished outside.
Drysdale: 209-166 W-L, 2.95 ERA (in a better pitchers' park), 49 shutouts. 8 All-Star team selections
Pappas: 209-164, 3/45 (Drysdale's home park wasn't that much better), 43. 2 AS
But Drysdale was FAMOUS and Pappas was someone you knew of if you followed baseball closely.
