Carlton Fisk will forever be remembered for one game-winning home run.
But it was durability over the long run that built the Hall of Fame career for a man who retired as the player who spent more games in catcher’s gear than any other in history.
Fisk hit a dramatic game-winning home run off the left field foul pole at Fenway Park in the 12th inning of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. The at-bat is still showed on highlight reels of the best moments in baseball.
