  • Steve Carlton was an extremely focused competitor with complete dedication to excellence. He thrived on the mound by physically and mentally challenging himself off the field. His out-pitch, a hard, biting slider, complemented a great fastball. He won 329 games -- second only to Warren Spahn among lefties -- and his 4,136 strikeouts were exceeded only by Nolan Ryan at the time of his retirement. Lefty once notched 19 strikeouts in a game, compiled six 20-win seasons and was the first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards.

      They do, but the game doesn’t let them pitch the way they used to. Give up a hit and a walk in the 5th inning and you’re out.

    1972 was the first year I started to follow the Phillies with interest when I was a kid. I got to see Lefty pitch two games at the Vet. He lost both of them. One, his 15 game winning streak was broken, I think in extra innings on a broken bat hit.

    Steve's a class guy. And a legend of pitch mastery, location, batter read and focus. Very deeply focused. Very Zen. And could hit a long ball. He made me proud to be a phillies fan.

    I had the privilege of watching Mr. Carlton throughout his career, but the one thing I will say at this point is: what a great role model he is to all the young adults. It would be great for them to emulate some of the greater qualities he possesses. Thank you Mr. Carlton.

    Steve Carlton told my dad to get lost when my dad asked for an autograph as an 8 year old. He idolized Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton as a kid so I’ve never forgotten that story he told me. I’m sure he’s a better guy than I’m making him out to be but I’m not a big Carlton fan…

      I was 10 years old and Steve was coming off of one of his 15 straight wins. I was in the bowels of the Vet holding my program and a pen, wearing my “Super Steve” jersey. Steve comes out of the ballpark and walks in my direction….and walked right past me without even a glance. Luckily little known shortstop Craig Robinson was right behind him and was thrilled to give me his autograph. I got over it. I still love Steve Carlton.
