Al Ferrara, an outfielder who won World Series championships in 1963 and 1965 with the Dodgers, died Friday. He was 84. Ferrara, nicknamed "The Bull," made his major league debut for the Dodgers on July 30, 1963, and remained in the organization through 1968. He batted .256 with 23 home runs in 249 games over five seasons with Los Angeles.
During that time, he was a part of National League pennant-winning teams in 1963, 1965 and 1966. Ferrara didn't play in the 1963 or 1965 World Series. He had one plate appearance during the 1966 World Series won by the Baltimore Orioles, hitting a single. In 1967, Ferrara had a career year, leading the Dodgers with an .812 OPS and 16 home runs. He was voted Dodger of the Year, awarded to the team's MVP.
