| Fisk has a BLAST CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - Carlton Fisk had little trouble getting acclimated to his new “Sox”. He hit a grand slam home run in the home opener for his new team, the White Sox, after eleven years with the Red Sox. The blast helped the Chicago beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3. Fisk’s move from Boston to Chicago was the result of a strange turn of events. He became a free agent after the 1980 season when the Red Sox failed to mail his contract to him by the deadline. He ended up signing with the White Sox for which he played the next thirteen years – a longer stint than he had in Boston. Fisk finished his career with 376 home runs, 1330 RBI and was an 11 time all-star. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2000.
