Carlton Fisk
As one of the greatest catchers of all time, there is a reason why Carlton Fisk was nicknamed “The Commander.” This has everything to do with his evident prowess on the pitch, and he never shied away from aiming higher. His achievements during his time with the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox were deserved.
Among Fisk’s accolades are 11 All-Star selections, a Gold Glove Award, three Silver Slugger Awards, and two of his shirt numbers retired. His strong offense and defense behind the plate led to his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000. At his retirement, he held most home runs by a catcher.
