A legendary pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers who was a former All-Star and World Series champion died on Tuesday at the age of 97.
The Los Angeles Dodgers community is deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary pitcher, Carl Erskine, who left an indelible mark on the world of baseball and beyond. His journey, filled with triumphs and compassion, reflects a life well-lived and a legacy that will endure for generations to come.
His career record of 122-78 over 12 years with Brooklyn and Los Angeles attests to his exceptional talent and dedication to the game.Among his many accomplishments, Erskine's no-hitters in 1952 and 1956 stand as a testament to his mastery of the art of pitching. His record-setting 14 strikeouts in a World Series game remained unbroken for a decade until teammate Sandy Koufax surpassed him, a testament to his dominance on baseball's biggest stage.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Carl Erskine was honored with the prestigious John Jordan “Buck” O’Neil Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023, a fitting tribute to a life dedicated to excellence, integrity, and service.
