Lefty: The Life & Times Of Steve Carlton (VHS, 1994)

He is the greatest lefthanded pitcher in Phillies history. He won more than 300 big league games, struck out more than 4000 batters, and is the only pitcher ever to win four Cy Young Awards. He won 27 games for a woeful Phillies team in 1972, and eight years later he led the resurgent Phils to their first-ever World Series championship!

But even after more than two decades in the big leagues, Lefty has remained an enigma to the public. For years, he refused to talk to the press, and his ideas and lifestyle have been the source of wild speculation.

In this collectors' edition video, Lefty sets the record straight and gives his fans an up-close look at the real Steve Carlton.

You'll see what truly makes Lefty tick, and get a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes during his remarkable career. Tim McCarver, Pete Rose, and Darren Daulton are among the many baseball luminaries who contribute to this fascinating retrospective, and Lefty himself invites you to his new home in Durango to help peel away the mystique.

LEFTY reveals Carlton's undying commitment to the craft of pitching a baseball and his rare appreciation of the baseball fan. As Lefty Carlton takes his place among baseball's elite in Cooperstown, LEFTY takes its place as a keepsake for any fan who wants to relive the glory days of one of baseball's all-time greats.
