John Howard "Fat
Jack" Fisher
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 215 lbs.
Born: March 4, 1939 in Frostburg, MD
Signed: 1957 by the Baltimore Orioles
Acquired: drafted from the San Francisco Giants, October 1963
Departed: traded to the Chicago White Sox with Buddy Booker, Tommy Davis, and

Jack was the Mets' ace from 1964-67,
leading the Mets in games started, innings pitched, and losses three times
each. Unfortunately, for the Mets of that era, leading the team in games lost
was a pretty good indication that you were a pretty good pitcher. Jack racked
up a whopping 24 losses in '65 despite an ERA under 4.00; draw your own
conclusions. He's pictured here on his 1966 Topps card and below on a couple of
other interesting 1960s pieces.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards
listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final
deal. Items listed in green I kept out
of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are
cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a
certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the
top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has
also departed the collection. I’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved.
