Yes. Carleton was a pretty good high school hoopster and wanted to play college ball in the hopes of being a pro, but his HS coach was wise enough to convince him that a 6'2" plow horse was not going to play in the NBA and focusing on honing his considerable baseball skills was the way to possibly escape Charlestown, NH.

Munson and Fisk, the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry was very intense back then.
