"Chet settled in as a perennial All-Star in the late 1970s into the 1980s, and was in position to become a lifetime White Sox in 1981 when Chicago signed Carlton Fisk to a bigger salary than Lemon had agreed to."

2024
"Carlton Fisk was a freak of nature who holds the record for most games caught."

2023
"The only MLB catchers with more All-Star appearances are Yogi Berra (15), Johnny Bench and Ivan Rodriguez (14), Mike Piazza (12), Roy Campanella, Gary Carter, Bill Dickey, Carlton Fisk, and Bill Freehan (11), Yadier Molina (10), and Elston Howard (9)."

2022
"Plus, you know, Carlton Fisk and Tom Berenger."

2020
"Molina has the seventh-most games played (1,947) as a catcher in baseball history, and with three more seasons, he could potentially pass Carlton Fisk (2,226) for second on the all-time list."

2018
"Is it Carlton Fisk waving his home run just inside the Fenway Park foul pole?"

2017
"Carlton Fisk: Sox Changed, Thanks To Postal Snafu"

2016
"Piazza wasn't as good a defensive catcher as Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk or Gary Carter, but he was in a class by himself as a hitter."

2015
"Remembering Carlton Fisk's Famous Home Run"

2014
"It would be hard to find a true baseball fan that could not imitate Carlton Fisk and his mannerisms to try and wave the ball fair as he produced the walk-off home run on that epic night."
