As a youngster, Ferrara appeared as a solo pianist at Carnegie Hall. Because of his muscular frame, a teammate once quipped, "He says he was a piano player, but more than likely he was a piano mover." Generally a fourth outfielder, with the Dodgers in a 1965 game against the Cubs, Ferrara broke up a Dick Ellsworth no-hitter with an eighth-inning, three-run pinch-homer. In 1967 he was Dodger of the Year, batting .277 with 16 homers. (RM)
