On this day in 1971, Rick Wise had one spectacular day: He pitched a no-hitter and hit 2 HR. No other pitcher had done before or since!
Rick's amazing day made him one of the most popular Phillies of all time.
Rick Wise broke with the Phillies at 18 in 1964. Overall, he pitched until 1982.
His career numbers were pretty good: 188-181 with a very respectable 3.69 ERA. His numbers have to be put in the context that he pitched for bad teams in Philadelphia.
In 1975, Rick Wise was traded to Boston and won 19 games for the 1975 Boston Red Sox who lost to the Reds in seven games.
Rick was a workhorse completing 138 games.
