Carlton Fisk and the White Sox


Hideaway Lights

Recommended Posts

I felt he disowned us when he went into the Hall of Fame as a Red Sox. I kind of resent him for that, and whenever someone asks me to make an "all-time" list or list my 5 favorite players, I always leave him off intentionally.

 

I know I'll probably get lynched for this POV, but anyone else feel like he took out his battle with mgmt on the fans? Didn't he have more tick and play more games in Chicago overall?

Imagine how Fisk felt when the Sox dumped him on his ass with no warning? I loved Fisk, and he was great for the organization. But try and think of the most memorable Fisk moment ever, and you would be hard-pressed to not remember him in a Red Sox uniform hitting his famous homerun.

You neglected to mention all the wrongs the White Sox organization did to Fisk, my favorite player of all time.  You have reported only half, or, half of one half of the story.

 

Things are much deeper than that.  Much.

 

And so it's justified that he takes his frustration out on the fans that supported him as well as management?

Also my fav player of all time, they wronged him in several ways, he was the heart and soul of that team. I will long think Fisk as the face of the SOX

The Baseball Hall of Fame decides what team you are inducted as. He has a little say but it is hard to change the committees mind on what hat you'll wear.

 

 

They do now.. Carlton was able to choose his cap.

I thought that CArlton decided that? I remember a big deal being made about how he 'picked' the Red Sox hat to wear into Cooperstown.

I think it was around the time Wade Boggs signed his contract with the D-Rays. In that contract, there was a stipulation that he would go into the Hall as a D-Ray. People freaked out, which I don't blame them.

Really? That is ridiculous. Tampa wanted some representation....the way they're going, they'll never have one. :bang

How about dumping his ass the next night after honoring him at home in Cleveland and not letting him have access to the Sox clubhouse during playoffs. This is why he wore Red sox Hat in HOF he has nothing but respect for White sox fan. Fisk hates JR and I understand why.

Dumbest..... Post..... EVER!

 

Carlton's decision was, in no way, directed at the fans. It was directed at that jerkoff Jerry Reinsdorf. And I, for one, don't blame him and I hold no ill will towards Fisk. If I was so unceremoniously s*** upon by the Organization that I gave a decade's + worth of hard work and sweat too, I would go tell my ex-boss to go eat a dick too.

If this forum had a killfile, I would've just used it.

I've figured out the problem. Ozzie isn't giving us enough to talk about this week. So, we're stuck arguing over crap and in some cases just making s*** up.

 

Oh well.

 

How bout them Cubs?!?!? The Rox we're 3-20 on the road going into today's game.
