Listed below is a great summary on Carlton Fisk. The question as I created it was indeed too open. It should have been this: What was the date that Baseball player Carlton Fisk was placed on the Boston Red Sox roster never to be returned to the minor leagues? Our friend with the September 1971 date as seen below is the correct answer with added information on Carlton Fisk that is
useful. Kudos to him!
Well, there is really no answer to that question.
Carlton was called up by the Red Sox from the Pittsfield Red Sox of the Eastern League in September, 1969 and played his first game for the Red Sox on September 18, 1969. He played one more game for them in the 1969 season.
He spent the 1970 season in the minors and the military and did not play in the majors.
The 1971 season saw Fisk play mostly in the minors for the Louisville Colonels of the International League. The Red Sox called him up in September and he played in 14 games.
He started the 1972 season as the Sox third string catcher behind Duane Josephson and Bob Montgomery. He played in 7 games in April and became the first string catcher in early May. Carlton was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 1972 and also was named to the AL All-Star team, won a Gold Glove, and led the AL in triples with 9.

He is a retired HOF catcher who played for the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. He is most famous for his heroic 1975 World Series HR in Game 6.
I think it is 91 worn by Boston Red Sox pitcher Alfredo Aceves. They also have a catcher with the number 92 who was recently demotes to the minor leagues.
