Carlton Fisk will probably always be most notably be remembered for his game-winning home-run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, but it would be his durability over the long haul, that would cement his Hall Of Fame resume. The 11 time All Star would become known for his in-your-face intensity. his ability to handle pitchers, and his incredible work ethic. He would go onto have a long and colorful 24 year Major League career. This week we follow the journey of this pugnacious backstop from his humble beginnings as farmboy growing up in Charlestown, New Hampshire, dreaming of one day playing basketball for his hometwon Boston Celtics, to becoming a catcher who's longevity and durability would help him rewrite the record books, at his position, in his image. #CarltonFisk #Pudge #BellowsFallsVermont #CharlestownNewHampshire #CecilFisk #LeonaFisk #ConradFisk #CalvinFisk #CedricFisk #JanetFisk #JuneFisk #LindaFoust #BillLee #RalphSivia #DarrellJohnson #BostonRedSox #ChicagoWhiteSox #DwightEvans #TomPaciorek #ThurmanMunson #GraigNettles #FenwayPark #ComiskeyPark
