This week is a long one, a Hall of Famer from the Granite State (don't say he's from Vermont)...it's Pudge, Carlton Fisk! He made 11 All Star teams, caught for 24 seasons, and when he retired he held the mark for most games and home runs for a catcher. He's an all time great for the Red and White Sox and has one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history. He's also a bit of a grump...but David still loves him. This episode went on longer than Carlton Fisk's Hall of Fame Speech...barely.
Topics: Charlestown, Fenway rats, Harry and Piersall, Deion
