Courtesy of Rich Selg, this 1985 Carlton Fisk card appears like your prototypical slugging catcher. Until you look a little harder.

Fisk, who had by 1985 had migrated to the Southside, is rated slow, and has plenty of power with numbers 1-1-0-0. He doesn’t hit much else (he has a 25-9).
But wait. What is a slow catcher who played 153 games doing with a 15-11? Sure enough, Carlton Fisk stole a career high 17 stolen bases (he also stole 17 in 1982).
Fisk has three 14s but can add a 61-42 HBP to the mix. Fisk is due the 42 because of (yes) 17 hit-by-pitches.
He also has a 14-30, a 21-30 and a 23-30 giving him three 30 result numbers in a range of six dice roll numbers on the card.
thanks, Rich!
AND for being a slow catcher, he does not have a 24 on the card, unless I’m missing it.
Nice call
I have a 1976 Sal Bando who is also rated slow with a 15-11
