| Steve Carlton with the St. Louis Cardinals |
Just like last year, Steve Carlton is a candidate for the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame. It's Steve's 5th time on the Cardinals Hall of Fame ballot. You can vote online for the Cardinals Hall of Fame here. Steve is a member of the Philadelphia Phillies Wall of Fame, and it would be great for his career with the Cardinals to be recognized as well. Obviously, Carlton's career with the Phillies overshadows his years with the Cardinals, but he was still an excellent pitcher when he was with St. Louis. Carlton was a 3-time All-Star with the Cardinals, in 1968, 1969, and 1971. Carlton was the starting pitcher for the 1969 All-Star Game, and had his first 20-win season with the Cardinals in 1971. Carlton's famous 19-strikeout performance came with the Cardinals in 1969, against the Mets. Now that it's been more than 50 years since the Cardinals traded Lefty away, it's time him to join the Cardinals Hall of Fame.
