Series heroes reunited in Hall of Fame

Perez and Fisk
Tony Perez and Carlton Fisk were all smiles on induction Sunday.
Three men who played a huge part in the 1975 World Series met again this weekend in Cooperstown, N.Y. As ESPN.com's Jayson Stark writes, the combatants were still discussing a famous pitch, 25 years later. Carlton Fisk, whose dramatic home run in Game 6 is still a baseball classic, joined the Hall of Fame along with Tony Perez, who delivered the big blow in Game 7, and Sparky Anderson, who managed the Big Red Machine to the title.
