ESPN Network: ESPN.com NBA.com NHL.com WNBA.com ... ProRodeo ALSO SEE Carlton with a K Carlton, the enigma of MLB By Mike Puma Special to ESPN.com "Sometimes they say the world rotates a little different for lefthanders. And Lefty was a good example of that. From time to time we still sit down and have dinner - and I still don't understand what he talks about," says Joe Torre on ESPN Classic's Sports Century series. Steve Carlton let his pitching do his interviews for him. On the mound he was "Lefty," a lean southpaw with a nearly untouchable slider. To baseball fans and the media, he was Garbo in spikes, a mysterious figure who seldom offered words for public consumption. Carlton's silence extended for most of his 24 seasons, during which time he compiled a 329-244 record with a 3.22 ERA and 4,136 strikeouts. Only Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson have struck out more batters. Trying to hit Carlton was "like trying to drink coffee with a fork," Hall of Famer Willie Stargell said. Carlton spent most of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies, making the Hall of Fame in 1994 on his first time on the ballot. He finished with the second-highest win total among lefthanders, behind only Warren Spahn, and as the first four-time Cy Young Award winner. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound Carlton was selected to 10 All-Star teams and ranks as the Phillies' all-time leader in victories, starts and strikeouts. The first pitcher to strike out 19 in nine innings, Carlton had his best seasons in Philadelphia, from 1972-86, after being traded from the Cardinals. Five of his six 20-win seasons came with the Phillies.

Search for another speaker Steve Carlton Category: Baseball In brief 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 are exceeded only by Nolan Ryan. "Lefty" once notched 19 strikeouts in a game, compiled six 20-win seasons, and was the first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards. Fee Range: Please contact us for fee info After the Series, Carlton joined his team on a trip to Japan. Even though he'd been an All-Star in 1968, the first of his 10 selections, he began experimenting with the slider, which became his signature pitch. His slider, nearly as hard as his fastball, broke down and in late to right handed batters. In 1969, his first year using the pitch, Carlton's ERA dropped by 0.82, his strikeout total jumped by 48 compared to 1968 in roughly the same number of innings, and his win total dimbed from 13 to 17. He highlighted his season on September 15 by striking out 19 New York Mets, only to lose, 4-3, as Ron Swoboda slugged a pair of two-run homers.

neurodiversity.com Steve Carlton, Baseball Player It was a milestone that very few pitchers achieved and at that time assured you of election to the Hall of Fame. I never think about who I'm facing; all I think about is winning. Steve Carlton Carlton was not your normal guy. Communicating with him was not always easy. On the mound, he would tune out all distractions. Off the mound, he did the same. If he considered you the distraction, he'd direct at you an icy stare. Teammates considered him to be a recluse. He hated to sign autographs. He refused to talk to reporters for long stretches at a time. He was devoted to the martial arts. He studied Far East religions. He was a wine connoisseur. He pissed people off with his stand-offishness and arrogance. Carlton was also the finest left handed pitcher of his generation. In a career that would last twenty-four years, he would win 329 games, ninth all-time, with an ERA of 3.22. His 4,136 strikeouts were second all-time only to Nolan Ryan. Unfortunately, most of his career was not spent in St. Louis but rather in Philadelphia. Peter Golenbock
