He got around like a cheap date.

What was the deal with him? Beaver, Brady Bunch and now this?
Does anybody else do this many shows?

Others I remember seeing were Sandy Koufax, Frank Gifford, Willie Mays, and Joe Namath. I don't think anybody did more shows than Drysdale though.

Others: Deacon Jones on The Brady Bunch, Leo Durocher on The Beverly Hillbillies, and Roy Campanella on Lassie. Also Rosey Grier had a TV acting career and was one of the starring cast members on the late episodes of Daniel Boone. Chuck Connors of The Rifleman and Branded had been a pro athlete as well.

A few more former pro athletes who went on to TV: Bob Uecker (Mr. Belvedere), Alex Karras (Webster), and Ed Marinaro (Laverne & Shirley)
