Catching heir to Fisk
Could not hit well and lost job
Traded to Yankees

| 1989 Donruss #427 Joel Skinner |
In 1986, the White Sox moved Carlton Fisk to left field and installed Skinner as their catcher. It did not go well. Skinner hit only .171 in April, forcing the White Sox to put Fisk back behind the plate. He was traded to the Yankees later that summer.
Had no idea Fisk played a little bit of outfield.
ReplyDeleteMe neither. Just looked it up and he even played third base a few times in the early 80's for the Red Sox.
DeleteHung around the Yankees for a few years but wasn't very good.
ReplyDeleteHe sure was like his dad when he was in Chicago
