Carl Daniel Erskine (1926–2024), nicknamed “Oisk,” was a beloved right-handed pitcher who spent his entire 12-season Major League career with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers (1948–1959). He was a key component of the legendary “Boys of Summer” era in Brooklyn.
Erskine used an outstanding, sharp-breaking overhand curveball, which Hall of Fame hitter Ted Williams famously called “the best curveball in the league.” He was a dedicated champion of the Special Olympics movement in Indiana and nationally. In 2023, he received the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s Buck O’Neil Lifetime Achievement Award, given to an individual whose character, integrity, and dignity enhance baseball’s positive impact on society.
After retiring from MLB, he coached baseball at Anderson College (now Anderson University) in his hometown for 12 seasons and became a successful business executive.
