Thanks Martin & others! Wow, multiple locations. I wish I was old enough to go to the original one in the Valley and meet Don. I was just a kid and it was an adult place, just a bar that served some food in the first years. He was said to be there a lot in the early years. Did any of you noirishers ever visit the place and see Don? Don was a friendly guy off the mound, but very intimidating when pitching. Very tall, and not afraid to throw brush back pitches. He hit many batters with balls. He signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers right out of Van Nuys HS. His pitching co-star Sandy Koufax is still around, but must be getting up there in years. From 1962-1966, Sandy was dominating on the mound. Possibly the best pitching five year stretch ever. He and Don were the best one two pitching punch in baseball, and the Dodgers won the NL pennant in 1959, 1963, 1965 and 1966, and nearly won in 1962. They won the World Series in 1959, 1963 and 1965, sweeping the Yankees in 4 games in '63.
