The Recent History of Madison High School Baseball

1935-39Russ Bergman and Johnny Stillwell led a team to Madi-son’s first “Little Five” Championship in 1937. The other four teams in the conference were Millburn, Caldwell, Glen Ridge and Summit. Russ Bergman was consid-ered the best short stop in northern New Jersey and was drafted by the NY Yankees in ’37. He went to Duke Uni-versity and played both basketball and baseball until ‘39. He had outstanding play in AA for the Yanks and AAA for the Yanks and was called-up in September for the Bronx for the final penant push. In the Winter of ‘42 he was drafted and served in WWII for 4 years. He never played pro baseball again.

Johnny Stillwell who also served in WWII was killed in action.

Other members of those teams and long-time Madiso-nians were Jack Livsey, Joe Falco and Benny Pisapio.

1962-651962 – Coach Bruce Derrick was a Pittsburg Pirate scout and new baseball. He had a talented team of second baseban Al (Bubby) Falco who played at Tampa, Bob Mate in left field, a terrific pitcher in Freddie Otten, sophomore shortstop by the name of Rick Armstrong who later played around the world for the Marines, Frosh pitcher Doug Hale who went on to lead the nation in home runs at Colgate up until the waning days of the college season. Peter Jileba a Freshman roamed center field, Carl Caskey held down first, Joey Sabatini a senior was at second and Bennie Vivonna was was a quick shot in right.

Many of the talented Frosh and Sophs played for the Little Leage team of 1959 who finished third in the State coached by Tony Gero, Sr. and Joe Natale. * Interestin historic note that Morris Twp. Students went to MHS that year due to the building of Morristown High.

Madison lost the third game (semis) to eventual winner Saint Benedicts.

Bobby Mauro threw out four runners in two games to make his mark as the best catcher in New Jersey!Jileba amazed the crowds with his Mantlesque home runs!

1965 With a record of 14-3, Madison was again invited back to the Greater Newark Tournament. They finishes second losing to winner Parsippany.

For Parsippany, a right fielder with a gun-arm was Richie Zisk. Zisk was drafted in the 2nd round and played right field for the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates where he hit #5 behind Hall of Famer Willie Stargell. He spent 13 yrs in MLB.
