Fisk was a solid catcher with a bunch of teams. he played 16 seasons with Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants, And Detroit Tigers. Fisk played in 3 all star games. He was drafted 17th overall by the Boston Red Sox but didn't really do much with the club. He was traded for a minor leaguer to the Phillies where he had 3 huge seasons. After a bad injury was let go by the Phillies and picked up by the Red Sox again for a year and released after playing only a handful of games.

The next season he signed with the Astros and really helped make that pitching staff something special. After being there for 3 seasons, Fisk had another big injury and was released in the off season. Signing in San Francisco, Fisk re-established himself as a solid catcher and was traded to the Detroit Tigers for 2b Domaso Garcia. He remained with the Tigers for the next 5 seasons before calling it quits in 1986. Fisk never won any major awards or the World Series but was a solid player over his career.

His Totals:

GP 1966 AB 6997 R 921 H 1776 2B 276 3B 37 HR 234 RBI 974 BB 568 SO 1213 SB 109 AVE .254 OBP .317 SLG .404 OPS .721

Fisk had his best season in 1973 the year before his first injury hitting 32 homers and driving in 91 runs. He hit .284 that season and also scored 98 runs.
