Ed Sanicki

Edward Robert Sanicki (July 7, 1923; Wallington, New Jersey – July 6, 1998; Old Bridge Township, New Jersey[1]) was a Major League Baseball outfielder from 1949–1951 for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Sanicki signed with the Phillies after serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II. On September 14, 1949—in his first at-bat in the major leagues—he hit a home run. In 1950, during spring training, he injured his knee. Although he made the team in 1951, his final major-league game was on May 12. After leaving baseball in 1952, he graduated from Seton Hall University and became a special-education teacher in New Jersey.[2]
