Former All-Star knuckleballer Eddie Fisher died after a brief illness. He was 88.
The right-handed Fisher died on Monday in Altus, Okla.
Fisher pitched 15 seasons (1959-73) with six teams and went 85-70 with a 3.41 ERA and 82 saves in 690 games (63 starts).
His best season came in 1965 for the Chicago White Sox when he was an All-Star and finished fourth in American League MVP voting. He went 15-7 with a 2.40 ERA in 24 saves in 165 1/3 innings over a then American League record 82 relief appearances.
During the 1966 season, Fisher was traded to Baltimore and the Orioles went on to win the World Series. He had a combined 20 saves between the White Sox and Orioles that season.
Fisher had two stints with the White Sox (1962-66, 1972-73). He also pitched for the San Francisco Giants (1959-61), Orioles (1966-67), Cleveland (1968), the then-California Angels (1969-72) and St. Louis Cardinals (1973).
Prior to his major league career, Fisher pitched for Oklahoma. He was inducted into the University of Oklahoma Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.
