The drama of Carlton Fisk’s 12th-inning, walk-off homer in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series—broadcast widely and prompting new TV camera angles—created a lasting myth of clutch hits. That legacy resurfaced when Colson Montgomery delivered a walk-off single on April 29 2026 for the Chicago White Sox, reinforcing the appeal of late-game heroics.
