He played for the Spokane Indians in 1910 and 1911, and he moved around from Spokane, Seattle, and the Vancouver Beavers from 1912 to 1915. He won his third and final batting title in 1914, when he hit at a .320 clip. That season, he became the first baseball player in history to get 2,000 hits in the minor leagues. Nicknamed the "Wagner of the minors," Frisk was a consistent hitter. He hit safely over 120 times in every season from 1906 to 1914. In 1915, at the age of 40, he batted .272 and then retired from baseball. He finished his career with a .301 average in the minors. In 2003, baseball writer Bill James named him as the best minor league player of the 1900–1909 decade. Frisk worked as a carpenter in the offseasons, and after his baseball days, he worked as a table operator for the Pacific Coast Company. He had a wife and one son. Frisk died in Seattle in 1922.
