Carlton Fisk, one of the greatest catchers in Major League Baseball history, was charged with driving under the influence after driving into a cornfield in New Lenox, Illinois, police said Tuesday.
Robert Pawlisz of the New Lenox Police Department told CNN that Fisk, who caught in more than 2,200 games for the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox, was treated and released from a hospital.
Fisk, 64, was also charged with the illegal transportation of alcohol and a lane use violation for crossing over an oncoming lane of traffic. He posted bond Monday night.
Hope he gets himself together and straighens this out. It looks like the only casualties were some cornstalks.

Me too. What is it with Fisk and cornfields? Is he trying to get to that game with Shoeless Joe?
Because he drove into a cornfield.
He was looking for Shoeless Joe.
It was just a matter of time.
LINDY MADE IT!
I dunno. I'm concerned about his ability to execute when it really matters.
Can't figure out why they cast a pop princess as his co-star, though. I bet she'll be uniformly hated by the fanbase.
They are going all the way to the World Series this year, baby!
