Carl Furillo

Carl Anthony Furillo (March 8, 1922 – January 21, 1989) was an American right fielder who spent his entire Major League Baseball career with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. Born in Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania, to Italian immigrant parents, he earned the nickname "the Reading Rifle" for his strong and accurate throwing arm, recording ten or more assists in nine consecutive seasons and leading the National League twice in that category. A member of seven NL pennant-winning teams between 1947 and 1959, Furillo batted over .300 five times and won the 1953 batting title with a .344 average, the highest by a right-handed Dodger since 1900.
