James Lamar "Dusty" Rhodes (May 13, 1927 – June 17, 2009)[1] was an American professional baseball player, an outfielder and pinch hitter whose otherwise unremarkable seven-year Major League Baseball career was dramatically highlighted by his starring role for the champion New York Giants during the 1954 season and that year's World Series.
