The author of a no hitter on June 23, 1971 against the Reds, a game in which Wise also cracked two home runs, Rick was a solid pitcher during his 19 year career. Rick is also the answer to the popular baseball trivia question, "Who did the Phillies trade to the Cardinals for Steve Carlton?" This Adirondack, model 194 VP game bat measures 35" and weighs 32.5 ounces, is uncracked with no evidence of game use. Rick’s #38 is on the knob in black marker. Wise’s black sharpie autograph, which rates a near 10, has the added notation "6-23-71 NO-NO, 2 HRs, 4-0 vs. Cincy".
