American Hall of Famer whose passionate play, famous 1975 World Series home run and consistent excellence across a lengthy career made him one of the most admired players of his generation.
Carlton Fisk is best remembered for his iconic 1975 World Series home run, waving the ball fair with his arms as it curved around the foul pole at Fenway Park — one of the most celebrated images in baseball history. A 24-year career that included stints with both the Red Sox and White Sox produced 376 home runs, a record for catchers at the time of his retirement. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000.
