Ed Sanicki
Outfielder, Baseball Player
1923 – 1998
Who was Ed Sanicki?
Edward Robert Sanicki was an American professional baseball player. An outfielder, he appeared in 20 Major League games for the 1949 and 1951 Philadelphia Phillies. Born in Wallington, New Jersey, he attended Clifton High School, and threw and batted right-handed; he stood 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 175 pounds.
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 three-run home run off Rip Sewell of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1950, during spring training, he injured his knee. Although he made the Phils in 1951, his final major-league game was on May 12. During his two MLB trials, Sanicki registered only 17 at bats — but of his five hits, three were home runs and one was a double.
After leaving baseball in 1952, Sanicki graduated from Seton Hall University and became a special-education teacher in New Jersey.
He died on July 6, 1998, in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and is buried at Holy Cross Burial Park, East Brunswick, N.J.
