On This Day in Baseball History June 4, 1968: Los Angeles Dodgers starter Don Drysdale throws his sixth straight shutout by blanking the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-0 at Chavez Ravine. 

Drysdale would break the 64-year record for consecutive shutouts set by Doc White of the Chicago White Sox and he would set the National League record for consecutive scoreless innings by passing Carl Hubbell’s record of 46.1 innings which was set in 1933.

The next day, Wilson Douglas and Kim Johnson came on the bus where Wilson spun another one of his great stories, this time about Ed and Doc White.
