Default Carlton Fisk -- earliest professional photo

I'm a Fisk specialist. Scott Garner told me about this thread, so I figured I would help you with the Fisk entry on your list.

I have dozens of professional photos that pre-date the 1972 Topps card/1972 Red Sox post card including childhood photos, high school, etc.

Fisk's first "professional" team was the Class A, 1968 Waterloo Hawks. Fisk was pictured in the newspaper articles of that time during the season, however I think that this team photo would be the earliest professional Fisk photo. Let me know what you think. This was originally pictured on roster inserts for the team during the first half of the season.

Fisk is in the top row -- Number 38!
