Campisi put up three consecutive stellar seasons at the Double-A and Triple-A levels of minor league baseball from 1967 to 1969, with a gaudy won–lost record of 36–8 (.818) in 124 games pitched, 100 of them in relief. His overall minor-league record was 58–21 (.734). He worked in 50 MLB games, all as a relief pitcher, and allowed 62 hits and 47 bases on balls in 6313 innings pitched. He had four saves — all for the 1970 Cardinals.[1]
