Doug Sisk was a member of the notorious Mets “Scum Bunch”. He is known for having a sinker that was very difficult to hit into the air, resulting in him giving up only 15 home runs over his major league career of over 500 innings pitched.
You can find a recent audio interview with Doug Sisk here. Doug’s Wikipedia article states that he became the Athletic Director of the Lakewood, WA Boys & Girls Club in 2003, but I haven’t been able to verify this.
