JOLIET — Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drunken-driving charge.
Fisk, who finished his career in 1993 with the White Sox, was sentenced Thursday to one year of court supervision and he must pay $1,250 in court costs. The 64-year-old Fisk also must undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation, and counseling.
New Lenox police found Fisk asleep in his pickup truck in a cornfield on Oct. 22 and said there was an open bottle of vodka on the floor.
