ALTUS, Okla. — Eddie Fisher, the right-hander whose 15-year major league career included an All-Star selection for the Chicago White Sox and a World Series title with the Orioles, has died. He was 88.

The Lowell-Tims Funeral Home & Crematory in Altus said Fisher died Monday after a brief illness.

Born July 16, 1936, in Shreveport, Louisiana, Fisher made his big league debut in 1959 for the San Francisco Giants. He later played for the White Sox and Orioles, as well as Cleveland, California and St. Louis.

Primarily a reliever throughout his career, Fisher was an All-Star in 1965, when he went 15-7 with a 2.40 ERA and made what was then an American League record of 82 appearances. He was traded to the Orioles for middle infielder Jerry Adair the following year and helped them win the World Series.

In 44 appearances in Baltimore, Fisher went 5-3 with 13 saves and a 2.64 ERA. He did not pitch in the World Series sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, however, as Jim Palmer, Wally Bunker and Dave McNally all pitched complete games.

In 2016, Fisher was among the 13 honorees who returned to Baltimore to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1966 team that helped launch the Orioles’ golden era (four World Series appearances in six years). He was part of a celebrated bullpen that “could hit opponents with Stu Miller’s peerless changeup, Eddie Fisher’s dancing knuckleball or Gene Brabender’s diving sinker,” The Baltimore Sun wrote in 2016. “The relievers were a loose bunch who’d light a fire in a bucket and roast hot dogs over it as they awaited [manager Hank] Bauer’s call.”

“Looking back on it, the starters got all the glory because of the World Series,” said Bunker, who won 10 games and pitched a shutout in the World Series. “But the bullpen should have gotten it. Christ, they were great. They carried us all year.”
