Fisk Foul Pole

The setting is Boston, October 1975. Game 6 of the World Series; Red Sox vs. Reds. In what may be the greatest baseball game ever played, Carlton Fisk steps up to the plate for the Sox in extra innings, trying to avoid a Series ending loss, with a 1-0 count Fisk hits a line drive right at the left-field foul pole. As the ball careems over the outfield, Fisk makes every effort he can to wave the ball fair. His efforts paid off as the ball hit the pole for a home run, giving the Sox victory and another chance to clinch the series.

Yesterday, the Red Sox and Reds faced off for the first time since the '75 series. In honor of that moment, the Red Sox renamed their left-field foul pole the Fisk Foul Pole after Carlton's game winning homer.
