Carl Erskine spent 12 years in the major leagues as a pitcher for the Dodgers, posting a record of 122-78. In that time, he played on six pennant-winning teams, and was a member of two World Series-winning teams, one in Brooklyn and one in Los Angeles. Erskine also tossed two no-hitters during the course of his outstanding career and was a teammate of numerous Hall of Fame players, including Jackie Robinson. Today he is semiretired and lives in his hometown of Anderson, Indiana, where he served as a bank president following his baseball career.
