1983 HEADLINE: Steve Carlton Captures 300th Win!!!
On this day in 1983 Steve Carlton recorded the 300th win of his amazing baseball career.
‘Lefty’ and his Phillies teammates were on the road in St. Louis as they prepared to battle the Cardinals. Ironically, it was the Cardinals that Carlton broke into the major leagues with… In the game, Carlton was dominant. He pitched 8 solid innings while allowing 7 hits and 2 runs. And since he is one of the game’s greatest strikeout artists, he also added 12 more K’s to his resume while also collecting a hit as well.
Congratulations on #300!!!!
His jersey and bat will be here in October!
