1972 Topps #79 Carlton Fisk RC
On October 21, 1975, in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, Carlton Fisk hit one of the most famous home runs in baseball history.
In the bottom of the 12th inning at Fenway Park, with the score tied 6–6 between the Red Sox and Reds, Fisk led off against pitcher Pat Darcy and hit a deep fly ball down the left-field line.

As the ball sailed toward the foul pole, Fisk waved his arms frantically, seemingly willing the ball to stay fair — and it did, striking the foul pole for a walk-off home run. The Red Sox won 7–6, forcing Game 7.
