Has always been a douche:

Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk was charged with a DUI in New Lenox, Ill., on Monday after he was found unconscious behind the wheel of his vehicle, which was found in the middle of a corn field, according to New Lenox police.

"Around 7:20 (Monday) night, we received a couple of calls about a vehicle in a field," Deputy Chief Bob Pawlisz said. "When officers went over there, they found Mr. Fisk unconscious behind the wheel.

"They contacted local paramedics in New Lenox, had him examined, and the officers had reason to believe he was under the influence. He was transported to the local hospital and charged with a lane violation, driving under the influence and illegal transportation of alcohol. An open container of alcohol was found in the vehicle."

Pawlisz said a citation was issued, Fisk posted bond and was released. The 64-year-old Fisk is scheduled to appear in the Will County Courthouse on Nov. 29.

Fisk broke into the majors with the Boston Red Sox in 1969 and played in Boston until 1980. He played in the 1975 World Series, and his arrest came one day after the 37th anniversary of his home run clinching Game 6 against the Cincinnati Reds, who won Game 7.

He signed as a free agent with the Chicago White Sox in 1981, and he retired from baseball in 1993.

Fisk was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000.

Should be a douche for being in New Lenox. Sorry, Spanky and Don's Piracy.

He should definitely claim that he swerved to avoid a raccoon, then slugged down the vodka to calm his nerves after the crash.

New Lenox......I love Country Charm, went to Central, smoked weed out in a field somewhere around there, White Horse?

It's no Frankfort, that's for certain.

He was in a corn field. He would probably have better luck saying he swerved to avoid a combine.

No, he was on the road and swerved to avoid some type of wild life. Unfortunately, he overcompensated the correction, lost control of his vehicle, and barreled into the corn field.

....at which point he almost smashed into a combine. He was so shook up he knew he would never make it home, so it was bottoms up at that point.

Being filled to the brim with vodka (they found an open bottle in the truck) didn't help matters.

Dozens of people every century are permanently crippled by combines. That is no lie.

He should claim he was doing some self-directed research on the life and times of his former skipper, Tony LaRussa.

When I was a kid, I would always remember being in New Lenox whenever we would pass the viaduct around I-80 and Rt 30. There was always some graffiti on it.

Maybe, but how often is it the right person getting mangled? Based on the general public, I'd say not often enough.

Officer, people will come officer. They'll come to New Lenox for reasons they can't even fathom. *hiccup* They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at the bar as innocent as a child, longing for the past. *burp* Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; *hiccup* sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. *burp* People will come, officer. The one constant through all the years, officer, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, officer. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come officer. People will most definitely come. *belch*

No offense taken. Nobody actually lives in New Lenox. It's just that place between Joliet and Mokena/Frankfort.

Swerving to avoid a deer during the rut is very plausible and drinking a bottle to calm the nerves ...solid defense...I avoid all those areas out that way..Frankfort/mokena and new lenox and orland park.. nothing for the cops to do but give duis.

:lol: I don't think its police profiling for DUI's if you end up passed out in a corn field.
