"Tricky Rick" Stattler
Richard "Tricky Rick" Stattler, a Long Island native, launched his base ball career with the Providence Grays Vintage Base Ball Club in 1998. He earned his nickname through his very small portfolio of base ball tricks, which are by now familiar to all veterans of the game, but which shall not be described here, as some youngsters may still yet be fooled. Rick can generally be found patrolling the right field, though he has pitched, caught, and covered every infield position in a pinch, in addition to serving his clubs as umpire, treasurer, captain, groundskeeper, team cook, historian, base coach, journalist, and corresponding secretary at various points in his ball career.
