Return To MLB
When he returned to the Indians in 1946, he made just nine appearances before being sold to the St. Louis Browns upon new owner Bill Veeck's dismantling of the club.
On August 4, 1946 Ferrick earned both of his first two wins with the Browns in a doubleheader with his former club, the Philadelphia Athletics. After the season, the Browns sold Ferrick to the Washington Senators for a $7500 waiver price. With his new club, he would lose both games of a doubleheader on August 20, 1947. He went 3–12 with a 3.77 ERA over two seasons for a team that finished in seventh place, but was among the league leaders in saves (9 & 10, respectively) both seasons he was in Washington. Following the 1948 season, he was traded back to the Browns with John Sullivan and $25,000 for Sam Dente.
Though the Browns lost 101 games in 1949, Ferrick pitched well out of the bullpen, and was the only pitcher on the squad with a winning record (6-4, 3.88 ERA in 50 games). At the 1950 trade deadline, he, Joe Ostrowski and Leo Thomas were traded to the New York Yankees for Jim Delsing, Don Johnson, Duane Pillette and Snuffy Stirnweiss plus $50,000.

Famous quotes containing the words return to and/or return:
“The chickadee and nuthatch are more inspiring society than statesmen and philosophers, and we shall return to these last as to more vulgar companions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
