BOS RED SOX #27 Carlton Fisk | 8x8

Carlton Fisk was one of the greatest catchers in Boston Red Sox history. Known for his strong defence, powerful hitting, and leadership, he became a fan favourite and a baseball legend.

Born on December 26, 1947, in Bellows Falls, Vermont, Fisk made his MLB debut with the Red Sox in 1969. He quickly became one of the best catchers in the game, known for his strong arm and ability to handle pitchers. He won multiple Gold Glove Awards for his defence.

At the plate, Fisk was just as impressive. He had great power for a catcher and often came through in big moments. His most famous moment came in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series when he hit a dramatic walk-off home run in the 12th inning. As the ball soared toward the left-field foul pole, Fisk waved it fair—a moment that became one of the most legendary in baseball history.

Beyond his skills, Fisk was a leader on and off the field. He was respected by teammates, opponents, and fans for his dedication and passion for the game.

In 2000, Carlton Fisk was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, cementing his place among baseball's greatest players. His legacy with the Boston Red Sox remains strong, and his impact on the game will be remembered forever.
