4. Carlton Fisk (18 of 27 lists - 352 points - highest ranking #1 juddling, Texsox, YASNY, shipps) bio by Texsox - It seems natural that whatever position you played as a kid you will identify and be a fan of the guys playing that position. For me it is catcher, and the greatest practitioner of the trade in Sox history is Carlton Ernest Fisk. I will admit I’ve cheated and really love AJ, and hope for the return of Sandy Alomar in a coach’s role, but the guy who I loved to watch was Fisk. Fisk was and is a hardnosed competitor, knowledgeable, hardworking, and most of all a protector of the game. I’ll suffer the indignation that Boston loves Fisk as well, the left field foul pole at Fenway is named Fisk’s pole and the clip of him waving the ball fair, in a Red Sox jersey, is perhaps the most played highlight of all time. I’ll even accept that in Cooperstown he’s wearing a Red Sox cap. But my other great favorite Baines is loved everywhere he played and it probably confirms the types of players I tend to be a fan of. Fisk is one of only eight players to have their jersey retired by two teams. There is also a nice Fisk statue at the Cell. He has also been presented with two honorary World Series rings, The Red Sox for 2004 and the White Sox for 2005. An honors section would stretch a long way, so instead I’ll end this with why he’s my favorite Sox player. You see, it isn’t just about ability. It’s character. My favorite Fisk moment was threatening to kick Dieon Sanders ass for not running out a pop fly. His exact quote to Sanders during his next at bat "If you don't play it [the game] right, I'm going to kick your ass right here." Damn that is so f***ing cool. He loves the game like a fan.

QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 10:33 AM) There is something soooooooooo wrong about having a magic number when your just a day away of being tied. There is no god damn magic number in my book. PLAYOFFS?!!! AMEN! Magic Numbers are bad luck anyway. They affect the team's psyche.
