    I’m from New Hampshire and the 1975 World Series at 12 years old made me Love and want to play baseball every waking moment.
    The Red Sox devastated me when we lost him to Chicago because of a terrible General Manager!!! Lou Gorman??? He was the best during a great period of baseball.
    Tell Deion to respect the game was SO VERY PRECIOUS in my eyes!!!

    One of the games greatest catchers who played his heart out and played the game the way it is supposed to be played . Great competitive player who shares the same birthday as me. Great Capricorn ..😅 no catcher in this generation will compare to this guy. A pure hall of famer.

    My first favorite ball player. Saw him hit a home run in my first game on Bat Day at Met Stadium in the summer of 75 when I was almost four. Didn't see his game 6 World Series home run but I remember my dad telling me about it the next morning. My first pennant was a Red Sox not Twins (I lived In Minnesota). Rod Carew was second to him... I went to college in MA, or as I referred to it "Red Sox Nation." They still sucked, and my Twins won the World Series in '91, and I celebrated it heartily, not knowing the Sahara Desert like championship drought that it would kick off for Minnesota sports that continues to this day...

    I think Fisk played the position of catcher, he played with a real competitive edge, like he was slightly angry. As a Cincinnati Reds fan (especially in the '70s) I really came to respect Fisk and the Red Sox as a whole. In fact, I used to root for the Red Sox, especially when they played the dreaded Yankees, who twice beat the Reds in the World Series. I took great delight in the Reds beating the Yanks 4 games to 0 in '76. There's nothing like having a common enemy. I loved seeing Fisk and the Red Sox on the Game of the Week on NBC.

      So funny, how old are you? I dont know how he became my favorite player ever. I’m 55, he’s the man, would love to have the opportunity to meet him, he’s THE Classic. I have his rookie card in a protective sleeve at my office desk, see it all the time. I’m from Alabama so how does this happen? Carlton, if you’re out there, reach out sometime, would love to hear from you. Your baseball ethics seeming ly match my everyday. You’re either IN or OUT, if OUT…get out of the way.

      In my 50s as well. I went to the last game at old Comiskey & kept the stub in my wallet. Maybe 2 years later I happened to bump into him at a volleyball game his daughter was playing in. Took out the stub, nervously approached & asked if he'd sign it. He obliged. Pretty cool.@@CRuss22

    How long would this guy have lasted if he could catch from one knee ? Hell , you kind of have to figure that were he playing today , the original pudge’s bat would have forced a great deal of organizations to seriously consider finding somewhere else for him to play defense . Who knows , he might have been able to play baseball in 5 different decades

    Again I misspoke about retiring his number
    THEY DID. I no longer can watch the RedSox
    They have the best Manager in baseball yet the ownership AGAIN is trying to pull the hat over our eyes and desire to sell hotdogs and merchandise instead of listening to Alex Cora on the desperate need for talent.
    Alex Cora should be The General Manager and Jason Variteck should be managing the franchise.
    I pray the Red Sox will sell the team to a Bob Kraft like ownership. One who loves and breaths New England professional Sports. New England fans are the most loyal fans in the world. Please John Henry do the right thing and sell the Red Sox. Keep your Penguins, Soccer teams, Race Cars, Newspapers, etc…. Make Red Sox respectful again and worthy of our Support!!!!!!

    I don't understand the Boston obsession with game 6 of the 75 world series. They lost game 7 . They blew a lead to lose game 7. Tony Perez homers to tie . Morgan drives in the go ahead. McEnany slams the door closed. But Boston fan wants to imagine that game 6 was bigger than the world championship, the ring and the money for some reason

      If you were from Boston, what would you celebrate: Game 6 or Game 7? 🤔 Easy choice, no? It evened the series in extra innings with a home run off the foul pole. How often does that happen? For drama, it was the best game of the 7 in that series. Many sports pundits still dub it as the best World Series game ever played.
