Steve Carlton, nicknamed “Lefty”, used martial arts and weight lifting as part of his conditioning program and got himself to a fitness level that allowed him to throw for 24 seasons in the big leagues. A focused competitor, Carlton used his biting slider and a great fastball to achieve excellence on the mound.
Born on Dec. 22, 1944, Carlton signed with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1963. He made the big league club in 1965. He appeared in both World Series appearances for the Cardinals in 1967 and 1968, earning a ring in 1967. In 1971, he had his first 20-win season and requested a contract of $60,000 for the following year. He was traded to the last-place Phillies over the resulting salary dispute. He decided on a 25-win goal and won 27 of the Phillies 59 victories. His first season in Philadelphia, Carlton led the league in wins, ERA, innings pitched and strikeouts. It earned him his first Cy Young Award. In 14-plus seasons with the Phillies, Carlton led the league in wins four times, winning 20 or more games four times. The 10-time All-Star would go on to win three more Cy Young Awards and a Gold Glove in 1981. On Sept. 24, 1983, he became just the 16th pitcher to win 300 games. He signed with the San Francisco Giants in 1986 and finished out his career with the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins. He finished his career with 329 wins – second to only Warren Spahn among lefties – and 4,134 strikeouts. He broke a record with 19 strikeouts in a game in 1969 and was the first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards. Carlton was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994.
This is a LIMITED EDITION cold-cast figurine. Worldwide production edition size was 3290. This is #1740. It was approved and autographed by Carlton and similarly approved by Major League Baseball. Standing 8½” tall and a base 5” wide, it exhibits the fine workmanship that Gartlan is known for. See the fine details: Raised letters and numbers on uniform, raised laces and detail on mitt, cap and shoes, as one inches off the raised pitching rubber.
The original Issue price was $175.
