Chauncey Fisher 1893
Fisher pitched for Cleveland in 1893 and 1894, and also for Cincinnati in 1894. After a year in the minor leagues, he was back with the Reds in 1896, and then with Brooklyn in 1897. He pitched in the Western League in 1898, was out of organized baseball in 1899, and then pitched for the Chicago White Stockings of the (still minor) American League in 1900. In 1901, Fisher started one game for the New York Giants (he lasted only four innings), was released on June 27th, and then was signed on or around July 1st by the St. Louis Cardinals. He is pictured here in his St. Louis uniform, the last that he would wear as a major league player. He pitched in relief on July 6th, 1901, and gave up seven hits and walked one in three innings, allowing five runs to score. Fisher was released about a week later.
