Here's an interesting article that compares Cliff Lee to Steve Carlton. I don't remember Carlton pitching (I'm too young!), but certainly I know who he is, and know of his talent, and know that he's a respected figure in Phillies history. He's good enough to be in the Hall of Fame. He's good enough to have his number retired. I hope Lee keeps pitching this way and having this amazing attitude and focus. Perhaps it's too soon to say this, but I hope that 34 will eventually be on the wall of Citizens Bank Park, and I hope that someday I can see him inducted into the Hall of Fame. If he keeps going like he is now, he'll absolutely deserve all those accolades and then some.Oh, yeah--the video within the article I linked to is fun to watch, too. And not just because he's smokin' hot. ;)
