1970 Topps #684 Jack Fisher
About Jack Fisher
Cincinnati was Fisher's last stop, and 1969 gave him 15 starts and 113 innings for a club that finished third in the National League West. The Mets had sent him to the White Sox on December 15, 1967, in a multi-player deal that brought back Tommie Agee and Al Weis, who both played major roles in New York's 1969 World Series win. Card #684, a seventh-series high number, lists him with the Angels. He retired in the spring of 1970 and spent a short time as a pitching coach.
Jack Fisher was a right-handed pitcher from Frostburg, Maryland, who debuted for the Baltimore Orioles on April 14, 1959, at age 20 and pitched eleven seasons for the Orioles, San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds. He finished 86-139 with a 4.06 ERA and 1,017 strikeouts in 400 games. His lone winning season was 1960, when he went 12-11 for the young Orioles rotation nicknamed the 'Kiddie Korps.' He gave up three famous home runs. Ted Williams' 521st and last came in Williams' final major-league at-bat on September 28, 1960. Roger Maris' 60th, on September 26, 1961, tied Babe Ruth's single-season record. The first home run hit at Shea Stadium, by Willie Stargell, came on April 17, 1964. Fisher led the National League in losses in 1965 and 1967. Hoyt Wilhelm gave him the nickname 'Fat Jack,' which he later hung on his Easton, Pennsylvania restaurant. The Angels released him on Opening Day 1970.
