Steve Carlton Athlete Quotations

Hopefully, Pete will be reinstated by Baseball and he will have his rightful place in baseball history, a plaque in the Hall of Fame.

And the irony is that they wrote better without access to my quotes.

The first pitch I threw was to third baseman Bob Bailey. It was a fastball, low and away. He ripped it for a home run down the left field line.

It's all quotes, anyway, and it all sounds the same to me.

It should be thrown, with the wrist and grip set, just like your fastball, slightly off center - with the same velocity and intensity.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.
