Carl Furillo Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball Photo, Magazine Page
This page from the 1950 Big Time Baseball sports publication features Carl Furillo, an outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Born on March 8, 1922, in Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania, Furillo was a prominent player noted for his strong right-arm defensive skills and consistent batting. During the late 1940s and 1950s, he became a key figure in the Dodgers' lineup, contributing to the team's success in the National League. Furillo's tenure with the Dodgers coincided with a competitive period in baseball history, when the team was based in Brooklyn before their eventual move to Los Angeles in 1958. Known for his calm demeanor and steady play, Furillo helped the Dodgers clinch multiple National League pennants and was an integral part of their fierce rivalry with the New York Giants.
