Really good hitting pitcher. Especially with his fist.
I was there when he decked a little guy outside Ebbets field, Brooklyn. Newcombe was leaving the park early after being knocked out of WS game.
“What’s the matter Don, can’t take the competition?” (Probably a Yankee fan.)
Big Don: I’ll show you who can’t take the competition. He walked over and decked the guy with one punch.
