Imagine receiving a check for more than $8,000. That’s what Carlton Fisk got from the Red Sox on August 31, 1976 in this Boston payroll check. Fisk earned this money in his fourth All Star season in the country’s bicentennial year. Coming off of their World Series appearance from a year ago, the Sox finished a disappointing third in the American League East, though not fault of their All Star catcher.
