Thirty-seven years after an epic home run that sent his Boston Red Sox to a Game Seven against the eventual World Series champion Cincinnati Reds, we’re still talking about Carlton Fisk.
Well…I guess.
The former catcher was arrested and charged with a DUI on Monday night in Illinois after driving his truck into a cornfield. New Lenox police say officers found Fisk asleep behind the wheel of his truck and an open liquor bottle on the floor.
“Around 7:20 (Monday) night, we received a couple of calls about a vehicle in a field,” Deputy Chief Bob Pawlisz said. “When officers went over there, they found Mr. Fisk unconscious behind the wheel.”
The Thirty Mile Zone reported that he refused a blood alcohol test. His car was impounded.
Fisk played 11 seasons with the Red Sox and 13 with the Chicago White Sox and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2000. He has an unlisted number in New Lenox and couldn’t be reached for comment.
The 64-year-old Fisk is scheduled to appear in the Will County Courthouse on November 29.
