1978 Topps Baseball #270 - Carlton Fisk

• Carlton Fisk made his sixth AL All Star team in 1978 (he went 0 for 2). It would have been seven in a row if it weren't for an injury in 1975. 
• Fisk only led the team in one category (39 doubles), but he was a very important part of the Red Sox lineup. Carlton's last full day off was July 17. Pudge started 150 out of the team's 163 games.
• Besides the oft-played 1975 World Series home run, the main memory I have of Fisk is the commercials he did for Copenhagen. He and Walt Garrison stand out for me with these ads. I wonder if he still chews the stuff.
