1970 Topps #374 Tommie Sisk
About Tommie Sisk
Sisk's #374, a fourth-series card, pictures him with the Padres, but his 1970 big-league innings came for the Chicago White Sox. Chicago used him almost entirely in relief, starting him once in 17 games. He went 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 33 1/3 innings. At the June 15 trade deadline, the White Sox sent him and Buddy Bradford to Cleveland for Bob Miller and Barry Moore.
Tommie Wayne Sisk, born April 12, 1942, in Ardmore, Oklahoma, was a 6-foot-3, 195-pound right-hander out of Polytechnic High School in Long Beach, California, who signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent in 1960. He was in the majors by July 19, 1962, still 20 years old, and the debut was a rough one: he started against the New York Mets and was gone after 1 1/3 innings, charged with three runs on two hits and three walks. He stuck anyway, working out of the Pittsburgh bullpen and then the rotation for seven seasons before one-year stops with San Diego and the Chicago White Sox, who acquired him for Jerry Nyman on March 30, 1970. Across 316 games and 99 starts he went 40-49 with a 3.92 ERA, 19 complete games, four shutouts, 10 saves and 441 strikeouts in 928 1/3 innings. He hit .094 with one extra-base hit in 235 career at-bats and pitched his last big league game on June 14, 1970.
