Dwight Evans: “I agree with WPA, Carbo’s HR had more impact than Fisk’s!”

By Tangotiger, 10:25 AM

Or words to that effect:

Bernie Carbo’s home run was bigger than Fisk’s. I’m not taking anything away from Pudge. His home run was great — it was a game-winner — but the game was tied. Carbo’s home run came in the eighth inning with us down by three runs. It was huge. It was the second biggest home run I ever saw, right ahead of Fisk’s.

According to WPA, Carbo’s homerun added 0.44 wins, while Fisk’s added 0.36.

Evans said that Dave Henderson’s is #1, and it added 0.73 wins to that game.
