Carlton Fisk is one of those rare players that both versions of the “Sox” can make a claim as one of their own. 

After 1,078 Games, seven All-Star Games, and an American League Pennant, Fisk began the second half of his career when he signed with the White Sox as a Free Agent for the 1981 Season.

Carlton Fisk played a handful of games in 1969 and 1971, but by 1972, he was anointed the starting Catcher in Boston, and it proved to be an excellent decision.  “Pudge” would win the American League Rookie of the Year by batting .293 with 22 Home Runs, and he was also regarded as a solid defensive player who knew how to handle his pitching staff.
