Carmen Ronald Fanzone (born August 30, 1941[1]) is an American former utility man who played between 1970 and 1974 in Major League Baseball.
Fanzone was signed as an amateur free agent by the Boston Red Sox in 1964, spending seven years at different minor league levels before joining the big team in 1970.
Then, he was dealt by Boston to the Chicago Cubs before the 1971 season in the transaction that brought Phil Gagliano to the Red Sox.
Fanzone and his wife Sue Raney, a four-time Grammy Award nominee as a jazz vocalist, reside in Sherman Oaks.
In the television series Transformers Animated, the captain of the Detroit Police Department was named Carmine Fanzone as a tribute.
