Steve Carlton in the News
Former batboy Amaro named Phillies GM (AP): With the enviable task of repeating as World Series champions ahead of them, the Phillies turned to a former bat boy to take over as their general manager. Ruben Amaro Jr. signed a three-year contract Monday to become general manager of the Phillies a quarter-century after he was handing lumber to Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton as a starry-eyed teenager.
Phillies past and present eager for new legacy: PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Steve Carlton showed up to throw a ceremonial first pitch. Robin Roberts, too....
Phillies past and present eager for new legacy: Steve Carlton showed up to throw a ceremonial first pitch. Robin Roberts, too.
Hamels the new Lefty? Or perhaps Schilling?: There are some people around town talking openly about how Cole Hamels suddenly has become this team's Steve Carlton. I think he can take a huge step in that direction with another postseason win in Game 5, but I wonder whether all the Hamels-as-the-new-Carlton chatter isn't a bit premature.
HUMMEL: Hamels handcuffs Rays: Cole Hamels displaced Steve Carlton in the postseason pitching history of the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night, which is no mean feat.
Rich Hofmann: Phillies ace Hamels makes pitch for greatness: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - He is like a god, the great and mysterious Steve Carlton. All of these years later, there really is no other way to put it. You could say that he is a forever member of the Phillies' franchise pantheon, except that this does not quite do the man justice. What is above the pantheon? What?

You could say that he is a forever member of the Phillies' franchise pantheon, except that this does not quite do the man justice. What is above the pantheon? What?
The last days of lasting hero: FOR THE INQUIRER1981: Larry Bowa wasn't the biggest member of those Phillies of the '70s and early '80s. He certainly wasn't the most talented member of those Phillies. But somehow, Bowa seemed to define that era more than anyone else in uniform - more than Mike Schmidt, more than Steve Carlton, more than Greg Luzinski, more than any of them.
Maddux has it his way: In the Giants' five decades in San Francisco, Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax had nothing on Greg Maddux. Nor did Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton. Nor Tom Seaver, Orel Hershiser, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. A Giants nemesis of historic proportions, Maddux has...
Brad Lidge and the slider: The slider can be a crucial part of a pitcher's repertoire. Hall of Famer Steve Carlton had one of the best ever. Larry Andersen threw about three billion of them - and that was just in his first stint with the Phillies.
Notebook: Tejada glad to be back in Bay Area: Houston's Miguel Tejada conducted a long interview with reporters before Monday's game. That is a story in itself. Many athletes would have pulled a Steve Carlton and shunned the media for life had they been ambushed the way Tejada was last month. The former...
Tejada fields questions, shrugs off age issue: Houston's Miguel Tejada conducted a long interview with reporters before Monday's game. That is a story in itself. Many athletes would have pulled a Steve Carlton and shunned the media for life had they been ambushed the way Tejada was last month. The former...
Lincecum looking like a modern-day Carlton: The Giants entered play Monday with an 11-15 record, and five of the 11 wins came on Tim Lincecum's watch. Is Lincecum another Steve Carlton? Carlton posted one of the all-time most impressive seasons for a pitcher. In 1972, for a Phillies team that won 59...
