"Lefty," as he was simply known was one of the most dominant pitchers of his generation. He debuted with the St. Louis Cardinals and helped win the 1967 World Series. Traded to the Philadelphia Phillies prior to the 1972 season, he posted one of the greatest pitching seasons in baseball history as he 27 games while the Phillies won only 59, and also led the league with 310 strikeouts and a 1.97 ERA, winning the first of his four Cy Young Awards (the others were in 1977, '80 and '82). Carlton would also help the Phillies win their first World Series in 1980. He was dealt to the San Francisco Giants in 1986 and played parts of the next three seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins before his retirement in 1988. A ten-time All-Star (1968, '69, '72, '72, '74, '77, '79-'82), Carlton finished his career with 329 wins, a 3.22 ERA and his 4,136 strikeouts place him fourth all-time.
