'''Carroll James "C. B." Beringer''' (August 14, 1928 – January 17, 2011) was an American [professional baseball](/source/professional_baseball) [player](/source/baseball_player) and [coach](/source/coach_(baseball)). The native of [Bellwood, Nebraska](/source/Bellwood%2C_Nebraska), was a right-handed [pitcher](/source/pitcher) during a 13-season [minor league](/source/Minor_League_Baseball) career before finally reaching the [Major Leagues](/source/Major_League_Baseball) as a [batting practice](/source/batting_practice) pitcher (1961–66) and [coach](/source/coach_(baseball)) (1967–78). He stood {{convert|6|ft}} tall and weighed {{convert|180|lb}}.

Beringer first signed with the [Brooklyn Dodgers](/source/Brooklyn_Dodgers) in 1946 and spent more than a quarter century in the Dodger organization. As a pitcher between 1946 and 1960 (with two seasons missed during [Korean War](/source/Korean_War) military service), Beringer compiled a stellar record of [145–82](/source/Win%E2%80%93loss_record_(pitching)) [(.639)](/source/winning_percentage), with a career [earned run average](/source/earned_run_average) of 2.98 in 440 [games pitched](/source/games_pitched).  However, he spent nine seasons at the [Double-A](/source/Double-A_(baseball)) level — he was the [Texas League](/source/Texas_League) Pitcher of the Year in 1959 — and only played one season of [Triple-A](/source/Triple-A_(baseball)), in 1960, his final year as an active player.

The following season, he joined the Los Angeles Dodgers as the club's batting practice pitcher, and after six years in that role he became a full-time coach on [Walter Alston](/source/Walter_Alston)'s staff in 1967. In 1973, when his colleague [Danny Ozark](/source/Danny_Ozark) was named [manager](/source/manager_(baseball)) of the [Philadelphia Phillies](/source/Philadelphia_Phillies), Beringer accompanied Ozark to the Phils, serving another six years as a Philadelphia coach before leaving Ozark's staff after the 1978 season. During his 18 years as an MLB batting practice pitcher and coach, he was a part of two [World Series](/source/World_Series) champions, three [National League](/source/National_League_(baseball)) pennant winners, and three [National League East Division](/source/National_League_East_Division) champions.

Beringer spent seven full seasons as a pitcher for the [Fort Worth Cats](/source/Fort_Worth_Cats), the Dodgers' [farm club](/source/farm_system) in the Texas League during the 1950s. He died in [Fort Worth](/source/Fort_Worth%2C_Texas) at age 82 in 2011.
