Trivia

• Richardson wore the uniform number 1 (one) for the majority of his career (1958-1966)
• Richardson is a born-again Christian.
• His manager Casey Stengel once made this observation about Richardson, who was better known for his glove than his bat: "Look at him. He don't drink, he don't smoke, he don't chew, he don't stay out too late, and he still don't hit .250!" (His career average was, in fact, .266).
