Wes Fisler, nicknamed Icicle, was July 5, 1841 in Camden, NJ. He came from a noted local family, his father, Dr. Lorenzo F. Fisler, served as mayor of the city of Camden at three different times. Wes Fisler made his pro debut at the age of 29 with the Philadelphia club of the National Association, the professional baseball league that evolved into the National League. Playing mostly first and second base, he was one of the better hitters in the league, although not one of the dominant players of his day. The event that staked Wes Fisler's claim to baseball immortality occurred during his final season, on opening day. On April 22, 1876, the opening game of the National League's first ever season, the Boston Red Caps come out ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics by the score of 6 to 5. Athletics first baseman Wes Fisler of Camden NJ, scored the very first run in National League history. After he retired from baseball, Wes Fisler returned to Camden NJ. He appears in the 1887-1891 Camden city directories as living at 511 Federal Street, and working in "gents furnishings" in Philadelphia. He later moved to Philadelphia, where he appears in the 1910 census. His final years were spent in Philadelphia, where he lived in a rooming house at 2134 Park Avenue. Weston Dickson Fisler passed away December 25, 1922 in Philadelphia, PA. |
