unusual facts about Richie Zisk


MacArthur Stadium

MacArthur Stadium was noted for having one of the deepest center field fences in minor league baseball, 434 feet, and no ball cleared that fence until 1971, with Richie Zisk being the first player to accomplish that feat.


Brad Corbett

This was during the advent of the free agency era and soon Corbett had signed such high-priced players as Bert Campaneris, Doyle Alexander, Doc Medich, Richie Zisk and Mike Jorgensen and traded for expensive talent like Bobby Bonds, Al Oliver and Jon Matlack.

Rennie Stennett

With Stennett's position at second base secure in a line up loaded with young hitters such as Dave Parker, Richie Zisk, and Rich Hebner and complimented by veterans Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillen, Pittsburgh traded up-and-coming second baseman Willie Randolph to the New York Yankees after the 1975 season.
