Mount Saint Mary College Athletics

Mike Fisher enters the Mount Saint Mary College Athletic Hall of Fame as one of the finest baseball players to play for the Knights. Fisher was a part of two NCAA Tournament teams at the Mount and was on the team that finished the 1999 season ranked #23 nationally.
 
Mike was a three-time All-Conference selection for the Knights and over those three all-league seasons he hit .372. He massed 143 hits for the Knights over the three-year span, adding 64 RBI and 43 stolen bases. In 1998, Mike hit an impressive .454 in 119 at-bats, ranking 41st nationally in batting average.
 
"I had an amazing time playing at the Mount. I knew the night of my visit on campus that the Mount was the place for me. What an incredible group of guys that knew how to have a good time as well as putting in the work to be a competitive team. It was an absolute blast!," Mike recalls.
 
Among his proudest moments as a Knight he lists being part of a great college and baseball organization. "I was always proud to say I was a member of the MSMC Knights."
 
Mike also looks back fondly on what being a student-athlete meant to him and how it affected him in life after college. "Learning how to balance social life, school work and baseball forced me to become disciplined and regimented to ensure that I was able to fulfill all my obligations as a student athlete while still being able to have a great time with friends. Also being part of a team sport teaches you how to get along and work with others. I was able to carry those experiences with me into the workplace," he reflects.
 
Up on graduation for the Mount, Mike went on to work on the American Stock exchange for two years before joining the New York City Police Department in 1993 where he serves as a lieutenant while staying involved with coaching baseball.
 
Mike and his wife, Rana, have been married for 17 years and are parents to two smart, funny and talented 13-year olds twins, son Kaeden and daughter Kennedy.
 
"The most fun four years of my life were spent at the Mount! Great place, great people, great times. On the long drives home from the city to Orange County I still catch myself thinking about all the awesome people I got to hang with and the fun we had."
