I can imagine their conversation:



Steve: "Hey! My last name is your first name!"



Fisk: "And my first name is your last name!"



Both (in unison): "Let's be friends!"

Fisk: Hey, cool! I make an All-Star roster and I get to hang with Steve Carlton.



Carlton: Well, maybe someday you'll get to catch me.



Fisk: I get to catch Tom Seaver.



Carlton: (Fuk.)

And he got to catch Steve Carlton AND Seaver for a time in 1986. Actually, I'd have to look at when Seaver departed for Boston and when Carlton arrived for his 10-game stint.

Thanks, Steve! I remember Carlton's last couple years being sorta sad, bouncing around.

It's nice to have four Cy Young Awards to pack up each time you move, though.
