Lefty: The Life & Times Of Steve Carlton (VHS, 1994)

He is the greatest lefthanded pitcher in Phillies history. He won more than 300 big league games, struck out more than 4000 batters, and is the only pitcher ever to win four Cy Young Awards. He won 27 games for a woeful Phillies team in 1972, and eight years later he led the resurgent Phils to their first-ever World Series championship!
But even after more than two decades in the big leagues, Lefty has remained an enigma to the public. For years, he refused to talk to the press, and his ideas and lifestyle have been the source of wild speculation.
In this collectors' edition video, Lefty sets the record straight and gives his fans an up-close look at the real Steve Carlton.
You'll see what truly makes Lefty tick, and get a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes during his remarkable career. Tim McCarver, Pete Rose, and Darren Daulton are among the many baseball luminaries who contribute to this fascinating retrospective, and Lefty himself invites you to his new home in Durango to help peel away the mystique.
LEFTY reveals Carlton's undying commitment to the craft of pitching a baseball and his rare appreciation of the baseball fan. As Lefty Carlton takes his place among baseball's elite in Cooperstown, LEFTY takes its place as a keepsake for any fan who wants to relive the glory days of one of baseball's all-time greats.

Best guy I ever saw take the mound. He was an icon, even then. A big fan, here !! Terry Mulholland reminded me of Steve Carlton as well, so I was a fan of him as well...
Thanks for the great upload, chief !!

Three World Series Rings with Three Different Teams to go with his 4 Cy Young Awards.
There's no way you can top a career like that!

Correction: Carlton had two rings: Cardinals in '67 and Phillies in '80. He was also a 1x ERA leader; and career ERA was 3.22
Also; here is a comparison with a couple other greats:
Randy Johnson: 5 Cy Youngs; 1 ring; 4x ERA leader; 3.29 career ERA
Greg Maddux: 4 Cy Youngs; 1 ring; 4x ERA leader; 3.16 career ERA
Koufax: 3 Cy Youngs; 3 rings; 5x ERA leader; 2.76 career ERA
That said, as a 70 year-old lifetime Cards fan, the Carlton for Wise trade was the worst trade in Cards history.

Steve Carlton was also with Minnesota Twins in 1987, and he got a World Series Ring along with the rest of the Twins. That makes 3 Rings for "Lefty" Carlton in his career.
The Three World Series Teams Steve Carlton was a part of:
1967 St. Louis Cardinals
1980 Philadelphia Phillies
1987 Minnesota Twins
As a Red Sox Fan, I can understand how you felt about getting Rick Wise for Lefty Carlton because you would later dump Wise on us(Along with Bernie Carbo) after the 1973 Season for Reggie Smith, one of our Big Bats. Smith would later prove to be a Big Bat with the Dodgers becoming one of the four Dodgers to hit 30 or more Home Runs in 1977.

Great video never saw it before....Lefty was so dominant in his prime at times he looked unhittable.
