Carl Erskine, who pitched the first televised no-hitter and set a World Series strikeout record back in the days when our Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, was born December 13, 1926, 10:00 AM, in Anderson, Indiana. He died yesterday, 4/16/2024, also in Anderson.

We have his birth time because he gave it personally to Garth Allen. The first televised no hitter was May 12, 1956, 4:11 PM, in Brooklyn.

He was born with Jupiter on EP-a among other angularities such as Mercury-Saturn on MC. Relocating to Brooklyn put Jupiter within 1° of Ascendant and moved his Saturn off Midheaven.
