Eddie Fisher (singer)

Edwin Jack "Eddie" Fisher (August 10, 1928 – September 22, 2010) was an American entertainer. He was the most successful pop singles artist of the first half of the 1950s, selling millions of records and hosting his own TV show.

Fisher left his first wife, actress Debbie Reynolds, to marry Reynolds' best friend, actress Elizabeth Taylor, when Taylor's husband, film producer Mike Todd, died. This event garnered scandalous and unwelcome publicity for Fisher. He later married Connie Stevens. Fisher is the father of Carrie Fisher and Todd Fisher (with Reynolds), Joely Fisher and Tricia Leigh Fisher (with Stevens).

Early life

Fisher, the fourth of seven children, was born in Philadelphia, a son of Russian-born Jewish immigrants Gitte (later Katherine "Katie"; née Winokur) and Joseph Tisch. His father's surname was originally Tisch, but was changed by the time of the 1940 census. To his family, Fisher was always called "Sonny Boy", a nickname derived from the song of the same name in Al Jolson's film The Singing Fool (1928).

Eddie Fisher (baseball)

Eddie Gene Fisher (born July 16, 1936) was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants (1959–61), Chicago White Sox (1962–66 and 1972–73), Baltimore Orioles (1966–67), Cleveland Indians (1968), California Angels (1969–72) and St. Louis Cardinals (1973).

Pitching career

Fisher led Pacific Coast League pitchers with 239 innings while playing for the Tacoma Giants in 1960. His minor league record from 1958 to 1961 was 47-28 (.627) with a 3.23 ERA in 93 games (632 innings pitched).

Fisher's best pitch was the knuckleball, and in 1963-1966 he worked out the White Sox bullpen with fellow flutterball specialist Hoyt Wilhelm.

Fisher started just 63 out of the 690 games he appeared in, and completed 7 of those, two for shutouts. He is better-known, however, for his effective relief work.

In Fisher's 15-year career, 1965 stands out as his best season. He was named to the American League All-Star team and finished 4th in the MVP voting. He pitched the final two innings of the 1965 All-Star Game for the AL, holding the National League scoreless on one hit. He retired Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente and Ron Santo in order in the top of the ninth.
