My deepest sympathy for Ruth and the Fisher family. Al was a great teammate of mine when Goderich fastball was jumping. You could not ask for a better man both on the field and after the game. I was lucky to run into Al earlier this year and we had a long talk about our families. Goderich has lost a good man.
