left-handed pitcher Steve Carlton is elected to the Hall of Fame by the baseball writers
On January 12, 1994, Steve Carlton, on the greatest left-handed pitchers in baseball history and the winner of 329 games, 4,136 strikeouts and four Cy Young Awards, is elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA receiving almost 96% of the vote. Orlando Cepeda falls seven votes short of the 75% required for election.
Carlton rarely interviewed the reclusive star during his career and anchored the 1980 Phillies’ staff that won the first World Championship in franchise history.
