Happy # 79 to Steve Carlton
Sandy Koufax of the 1960's comes to my mind.
Randy Johnson of the 1990's makes the list.
And Steve Carlton who was born on this day in 1944.
Over an amazing career, Carlton won 329 games with a 3.22 ERA. He also completed 254 games with 4,136 strikeouts.
His best season was 1972: 27-10, a 1.97 ERA, 30 complete games, 8 shutouts and 320 strikeouts. The amazing thing is that he pitched for a team that won 59 games.
Great pitcher. Maybe the best lefty after Koufax!

Happy # 75 Steve Garvey
Steve broke with the LA Dodgers in 1969 but did not get a lot of playing time until 1973. It was great after that!
He had a great career: .294 batting average, 2,599 hits, 272 HR & 1,308 RBI. Garvey was the 1974 NL MVP and came in second in the 1978 vote.
Garvey was traded to San Diego and played for the Padres in the 1984 World Series. He hit a walk off HR to beat Chicago in game 4 of the NLCS.
