1966 Topps #381 Hank Fischer
About Hank Fischer
This is Fischer's first Topps card as an Atlanta Brave, issued the year the franchise opened play in Georgia, though the back still reports a Milwaukee season -- and the last full one he pitched for the club: 8-9 with a 3.89 ERA in 1965, 31 appearances including 19 starts, two complete games and 79 strikeouts over 122 2/3 innings. Card #381 falls in the set's fifth series.
Henry William Fischer was born January 11, 1940, in Yonkers, New York. As a schoolboy in 1957 he threw three no-hitters and carried Roosevelt High School to the city baseball championship, then took the first Louis J. Flowers Memorial Award as the city's outstanding schoolboy athlete; the nickname 'Bulldog' came from the way he played basketball. Seton Hall basketball coach John 'Honey' Russell, a Milwaukee Braves scout, recommended him, and the right-hander signed before the 1959 season. At Cedar Rapids in 1960 he led the Three-I League with 217 strikeouts and a 2.01 ERA, reaching Triple-A Louisville a year later. Fischer pitched six major-league seasons for the Braves in Milwaukee and Atlanta, the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Red Sox, going 30-39 with a 4.23 ERA and 369 strikeouts in 168 games; one year as a rotation regular held 28 of his 77 career starts. Boston released him after the 1967 season, and at 28 he went into the restaurant business in West Palm Beach, Florida.
