On September 5, 1902, Fisher pitched effectively in the last four innings of a 151 home loss against the Baltimore Orioles. He allowed five runs, but none of them were earned runs, so his lifetime ERA stands at 0.00.[2]

One of his teammates was second baseman Kid Gleason,[3] who would go on to become the manager of the infamous 1919 Chicago White Sox (Black Sox).[4]

Fisher died at the age of 74 in Spokane, Washington.[1]
