My Take
Carlton Fisk, Pudge, is my idea of stubborn greatness. A kid from small-town Vermont who caught in the majors for an almost absurd 24 seasons, beloved in both Boston and Chicago, a Hall of Famer with the Gold Glove to match. The image of him waving his 1975 World Series home run fair is rightly carved into the sport's memory. But what moves me is the longevity behind it, the gritty, unglamorous endurance of a catcher who simply refused to leave. I have a weakness for that kind of unbreakable craftsman, and Fisk is the template.
