In 1972, the Philadelphia Phillies experienced one of their worst
seasons in franchise history, finishing with an abysmal 59-97
record. Yet throughout this disastrous season, Steve ""Lefty""
Carlton proved to be a diamond in the rough. In his first year with
the club, he led the league with 27 wins, eight shutouts, and a
sizzling 1.98 ERA, earning an astounding 45.8 percent of
Philadelphia's wins. He also won his first Cy Young award, the
first pitcher to do so with a last-place team. This work chronicles
Carlton's magical season, including the Rick Wise-for-Carlton
trade, Lefty's 5-1 start following the players' first-ever strike,
his 15-game winning streak, and a number of memorable games along
the way. Interviews with Phillies icons, Hall of Famers, and
legendary sports writers add insights to this account of Carlton's
remarkable achievements amidst one of the most calamitous period in
Phillies history.
