A little aside pertaining to Carlton…Everone knows about Bob Gibson’s propensity to work a CG, but the most CG’s the great RHP’er ever amassed in a season was 28 CG’s, which he achieved in both ’68 and ’69. Steve Carlton worked 30 CG’s in ’72, which also happened to be his first season in the Big Leagues in which he pitched in a uniform not featuring the birds on the bat.
