Carlton Fisk showed incredible durability playing 24 years in a position that often wrecks a players knees in much shorter time. He caught 2,226 games, the most by any player in history.
He also leads all catchers with career home runs with 351 and was selected to the Hall of Fame in 2000. This uncracked Carlton Fisk game-used bat displays evidence of excellent game use. The barrel is covered with ball, ball stitch, and blue ball transfer marks. The handle has been taped in a five ring pattern and has a light coat of pine tar. Fisk's player number "72" is written in white marker on the knob end. The front barrel is autographed in gold ink and grades a 9.

The bat and autograph each comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
