Distant Replay: The Carlton Fisk home run that broke Boston’s heart

In his very first game with the White Sox in 1981, Carlton Fisk hit a game-winning 3-run homer in the 8th inning at Fenway Park against his former team. It was madness--not only on the field, but in the broadcast booth with White Sox broadcasters Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall. Host Chuck Garfien is joined by Ryan McGuffey and Chris Kamka to discuss everything that led up to that game, Fisk signing with the White Sox, the insane commentary by Caray and Piersall and the home run that is still remembered to this day.
