Day 215, Aug. 3: Lefties

 My All-Time Favorite
Left-handed Pitchers
Boy, I just don't have a favorite. I like all of these, but none much better than the others.
Vida Blue, Athletics: The name is as cool as he was talented, though not consistently enough to be a Hall of Famer.
Steve Carlton, Phillies: Great pitcher on a usually poor team, he not only was great, he appeared to be very sophisticated.
Whitey Ford, Yankees: Most Yankees pitchers in this era racked up the wins, but this guy was the whole package.
Tom Glavine, Braves: Part of a great Braves' pitching staff in the 1990s.
Bruce Hurst, Red Sox: My favorite from my favorite team. Lefties don't fare well at Fenway.
Randy Johnson, Mariners: As intimidating as they get, this 6-10 pitcher was dominating to a late age.
Jim Kaat, Twins: One of the really nice guys who also was a great pitcher. Played for Superior in the minors!
Sandy Koufax, Dodgers: A short career didn't take away from this powerful pitcher.
Babe Ruth, Yankees: Only pitcher a few seasons, but it was obvious how good he was.
Warren Spahn, Braves: Don't know much about him, but everything says he was one of the best.
