On the blog today, we give former pitcher Jack Fisher a do-over on his 1970 Topps card, showing him with the team he played for in 1969, which actually turned out to be the last action of his 11-year baseball career:

Fisher appeared in 34 games for the Cincinnati Reds, going an even 4-4 with a 5.50 earned run average over 113 innings.
Though
he was traded to the California Angels during the off-season before the
1970 campaign, he would end up being released just before the season
started.
Originally up with the Baltimore Orioles in 1959, he
would be a hard-luck pitcher with the New York Mets between 1964 and
1967, leading the league in losses twice, including an incredible 24 in
1965 even though his ERA was at 3.94 over 253 innings of work.
In
those 11 years as a Big League pitcher, Fisher would end up with a
record of 86-139 over 400 games, with nine shutouts, nine saves, and a
4.06 ERA in 1975.2 innings pitched.
