Joseph Carlton Ferguson, Jr. (born April 23, 1950), is an American former football quarterback in the National Football League.
Ferguson played high school football in Shreveport, Louisiana, for Woodlawn High School. He guided the Knights to the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class AAA (the top classification at the time) state championship in 1968. Ferguson succeeded Terry Bradshaw as Woodlawn's starting quarterback.
Ferguson played college football at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, where he held the school's single game record for most completions until broken in 2012 (31 against Texas A&M in 1971) and in that same season was named the Southwest Conference's Offensive Player of the Year.
The Buffalo Bills selected Ferguson in the third round of the 1973 NFL Draft. Although he is most famous for playing with the Bills from 1973 to 1984, Ferguson also played three seasons for the Detroit Lions and two seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and one final season with the Indianapolis Colts.
Joseph Vance Ferguson (born September 19, 1946 in San Francisco, California) is a retired Major League Baseball player who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros, and California Angels from 1970 through 1983. A catcher/right fielder, he was listed at 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m), 200 lbs., batting and throwing right-handed.
Ferguson reached the majors in 1970 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, becoming their everyday catcher in 1973. He set a major league record for catchers by committing only three errors, leading the National League catchers in fielding percentage (.996) and double plays (17), while hitting .263 with a .369 on-base percentage. He also reached career-highs in games played (136), home runs (25), RBI (88), runs (84), doubles (26) and walks (87).
When Steve Yeager became a regular in the 1973 midseason, Ferguson shared catching duties and played right field against left-handed pitchers. He soon became known for having one of the strongest throwing arms of any outfielder in the major leagues. This came into play during Game One of the 1974 World Series against the Oakland Athletics, when Ferguson made a memorable play in right field in the top of the eighth inning, running in front of teammate Jimmy Wynn to catch a fly ball off the bat of Reggie Jackson, and then firing a 300-foot strike to Yeager to gun down Sal Bando, who was trying to score from third base. In Game Two, Ferguson hit a two-run homer off Vida Blue to provide the only Dodgers' victory in the Series. He enjoyed another fine season in 1977 with Houston, catching 122 games and hitting 16 home runs with 61 RBI and a .379 OBP. Reacquired by the Dodgers in the 1978 midseason, he helped his team reach the 1978 World Series.

Sha la la la
la la, my lady
In the sun with
your hair undone
Can you hear me now
callin' your name
from across the bay?
A summer's day
laughin' and a hidin'
Chasin' love
out on Thunder Island
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
Hey hey hey hey
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
She was the color
of the Indian summer
And we shared the
hours without number
Until one day when the
sky turned dark and
the winds grew wild
Caught by the rain
and blinded by the lightning
We rode the storm out
there on Thunder Island
(instrumental)
I held her close
until the storm passed
And we fell down
laughing in the wet grass
Both our bodies drying
in the sunshine
sweet sunshine
So, sha la la la
la la my lady
In the sun with
your dress undone
Now every mile away
and every day
cuts a little bit deeper
I'll remember the
nights in the cool sand
Makin' love out
on Thunder Island
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
Hey hey hey hey
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
Goodbye Thunder Island
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
