You don't have to go through Carlton Fisk's famous Fenway Park foul-pole theatrics when you read Doug Wilson's biography. This is a home run all the way, a straight-ahead blast that travels from New Hampshire (of all places) across a stormy 24-year major-league career and lands in Cooperstown. Read it and enjoy., "You don't have to go through Carlton Fisk's famous Fenway Park foul-pole theatrics when you read Doug Wilson's biography. This is a home run all the way, a straight-ahead blast that travels from New Hampshire (of all places) across a stormy 24-year major-league career and lands in Cooperstown. Read it and enjoy." -- Leigh Montville, NYT bestselling author of The Big Bam and Ted Williams: The Biography of an American Hero "Carlton Fisk was the best catcher in Red Sox history both offensively and defensively. He was also a great teammate who loved the game. Wilson's book is terrific. It brought back many memories of Pudge as a teammate on and off the field and has so many different accounts of his life growing up in New Hampshire and his years with the White Sox. Just a great job." -- Rico Petrocelli, former Red Sox great "Wilson received much-deserved praise for his biographies of Mark Fidrych and Brooks Robinson. This fine book is every bit their equal." -- Booklist, starred review "A well-researched account of a legendary ball player." -- Library Journal "Wilson delivers a solid look at the prodigious career of one the finest baseball players of the '70s." -- Publishers Weekly "This comprehensive biography takes a look at his full body of work playing the most physically demanding position in the game and in the process earning selection as both a unanimous Rookie of the Year in 1972 and a Hall of Famer in 2000." - The Christian Science Monitor, Wilson delivers a solid look at the prodigious career of one the finest baseball players of the '70s., Wilson received much-deserved praise for his biographies of Mark Fidrych and Brooks Robinson. This fine book is every bit their equal., Praise for Brooks: "I've known Brooks for more than 40 years and this is the most thorough and detailed biography of him I've ever read. And I've read them all."-Roy Firestone, seven-time Emmy-winning broadcaster and original host of ESPN's Up Close "An unabashedly affectionate life of and tribute to a man who deserves every good word that ever has been said or written about him."- The Washington Post "Wilson can weave together interesting tidbits that belong in any social studies class and can make us think "Wow," whether or not we follow sports."- The Republic, "You don't have to go through Carlton Fisk's famous Fenway Park foul-pole theatrics when you read Doug Wilson's biography.

  • Carlton Fisk is a long time family friend

    My dad grew up next door to Pudgie, where they were best friends in NH. I gave this book to my dad to read and he thought it was quite interesting and it was like going back down memory lane for him. Good ol times.
