In 1972, the Philadelphia Phillies experienced one of their worst seasons in franchise history. Yet throughout this disastrous season, Steve ""Lefty"" Carlton proved to be a diamond in the rough. In his first year with the club, he led the league with 27 wins, eight shutouts, and a 1.98 ERA. He also won his first Cy Young award, the first pitcher to do so with a last-place team. This work chronicles Carlton's magical season.
