Saturday with Steve

The Sox have made some moves, some good, some I'll wait to see how well it worked out. I liked the Lynn trade, he's supposed to be pretty good and will make another solid starter behind Giolito and Keuchel and if Cease works out like he's supposed to, that's a pretty good rotation. I hated seeing McCann go because I liked him but I understand the move. I wish him well and I have a soft spot for the Mets so I'm happy he went there.

Today's post is a former lefty who played for the Sox but the majority of his hall of fame career was with the Phillies but I got a card with another team of his that I really enjoyed receiving.


This comes from 2019 Archives, you gotta love the powder blues.


This is from the 1983 set so I'm surprised I didn't have it but apparently I didn't. Both former Sox on that card. This card also goes with the Vintage collection as does the next one.


It's far from his rookie but a vintage Steve Carlton all of the same. I really liked getting this card. I don't remember seeing him in a Cardinals uniform until Topps started reprinting their older cards awhile ago. I do have his 1973 which was my oldest single player card. I do have another 1970 but it's a leaders card with Juan Marichal and Bob Gibson.

All 3 of these cards came from Jeff at 2x3 Heroes. Those 3 cards give me 121 of the Hall of Famer lefty.

  1. 121 cards of Lefty? That's a solid collection. He was one of my favorite players as a kid and I've been collecting him ever since. I doubt I've crossed over triple digits though.
