Steve Carlton was a 4x NL Cy Young Award Winner (1972, 1977, 1980, 1982), 10x All-Star, 2x World Series Champion (1967, 1980), Gold Glove Winner (1981), 4x NL Wins Leader, 5x NL Strikeout Leader and the NL ERA Leader in 1972.  Carlton pitched for six different teams from 1965 to 1988, most notably as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies with whom he won four Cy Young Awards as well as the 1980 World Series. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994 on the 1st Ballot.  Nicknamed "Lefty", Carlton has the second-most lifetime strikeouts of any left-handed pitcher (4th overall), and the second-most lifetime wins of any left-handed pitcher (11th overall).  He was the first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards in a career.  One of his most remarkable records was accounting for nearly half (46%) of his team's wins, when he won 27 games for the last-place (59-97) 1972 Phillies.  He is the last National League pitcher to win 25 or more games in one season, as well as the last pitcher from any team to throw more than 300 innings in a season.
