Revisiting the Career of Whiz Kid Dick Sisler
Description
Before Dick Sisler was Nashville Vols manager, his claim to fame was secured several years before as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
In a previous episode I told about his career and events during his Nashville tenure. But his feat on October 1, 1950, his home run that sealed the National League pennant, broke the spell of expectations for the son of a Hall of Famer, and I felt more needed to be said.
Sisler’s story continues beyond his minor and major leagues managing career until he returned to Nashville where died. I hope you will listen!
