Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Original photograph has rust marks along top center. Photograph caption dated May 31, 1965 reads, "Dodger teammates cluster around outfielder Al Ferrara following collision with Lou Johnson yesterday in sixth inning of game with Cincinnati. Players crashed together while chasing drive hit by Reds' Leo Cardenas, and lay motionless (see inset) for several seconds before help arrived, as ball (arrow) lay in outfield grass. It was finally retrieved by groggy Johnson (left), and thrown back to infield. Johnson remained in game, but Ferrara was removed by stretcher, suffering mild concussion."
