Some interesting facts about Rechichar:

He was part of the huge 15-player deal between the Browns and Colts that had the Browns acquiring Mike McCormick and sending away some guy named Shula. Interestingly, the Colts also got the rights to quarterback Harry Agganis, who had signed to play for the Boston Red Sox. He shockingly died two years later.

Rechichar got quietly married sometime after Tennessee's 1951 football season, the reason being that he was still on scholarship and Bob Neyland (the Vols' AD) had a rule that no married players could be on scholarship.

He played minor league baseball in 1952-53 in the Cleveland Indians farm system:
