Carlton Fisk |
A true New Englander, Fisk was born in Vermont, attended the University of New Hampshire, and in January 1967 was the first-round draft choice of the Boston Red Sox. When he arrived in the big leagues in 1972, he already had a nickname (Pudge, from his childhood.) At the age of 21, he beat out Duane Josephson and Bob Montgomery for the full-time catcher’s job and never looked back. Fisk was an immediate star. He hit .293 with 22 homers in '72, won a Gold Glove, and became the first player ever to win the Rookie of the Year award... | View Bio | View Stats |
