Was Steve Carlton a racist and anti semite?
I've read that HOF pitcher Steve Carlton was labeled as a racist and anti semite.
I've also read that he strongly denied the allegations. Could anyone please help clear this issue up for me? |

A cursory look at Carlton on Google shows that perhaps he was/is a bit of a crackpot conspiracy theorist and he preferred to throw to Tim McCarver rather then Bob Boone.
Other then that, I would guess only people who really know him would know the answer to that, as he's been pretty tight-lipped throughout his life. |

A blanket allegation like that on a public forum such as this, implies - for the world to see - that he was both. If he was neither, you have done him a grave injustice, smearing his name, that a later, "Gosh, I was wrong and I'm sorry," would never correct. To make such an unattributed charge, you need to first cite your source(s) and not a "I've read that . . ." For that matter, why is it important if he was either and why does it matter to you?

+1 At an absolute minimum, this seems like one of those posts where the person should be required to post their real name, as opposed to hiding behind a forum id. Steve

These allegations come from an article Pat Jordan wrote years ago for Philadelphia magazine. Carlton said he never said what he was quoted as saying. No comments on the comments but I enjoyed Pat Jordan's book "A False Spring" and he has been a member of the media and sports journalism for a long time.
I was able to track down the original article text: https://thestacks.deadspin.com/thin-...d-co-478492324 Last edited by packs; 05-08-2018 at 02:58 PM. |
