unusual facts about Carl Furillo



Al Gionfriddo

Gionfriddo was also involved in the even more famous Game 4 of the 1947 Series when Cookie Lavagetto's pinch hit double not only broke up Bill Bevens' no hitter with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but won the game as well when Gionfriddo (who had entered the game as a pinch runner for Carl Furillo and stole second) and Eddie Miksis scored on the play.

Duke Snider

A more mature Snider became the "trigger man" in a power-laden lineup which boasted players Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges, Billy Cox, Roy Campanella, Carl Erskine, Preacher Roe, Carl Furillo, Clem Labine, and Joe Black.
