In Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, Carlton Fisk led off the bottom of the 12th inning with a walk-off home run that clanged off the foul pole above Fenway Park's Green Monster, giving the Red Sox a 7-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds and tying the series at 3-3.

Nearly 30 years later, on June 13, 2005, prior to an Interleague game against the Reds, the Red Sox honored their former catcher by officially renaming it "Fisk Pole" during a ceremony in the Monster Seats.

"The video of Fisk trying to wave the ball fair remains one of the game's enduring images," Red Sox then-president Larry Lucchino said in 2005. "That home run, and that World Series, helped revitalize baseball."
