There are celebrated milestones in baseball for hitters – 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. For pitchers, 300 wins is not only a culmination of great pitching, but also longevity. Every pitcher with 300 wins, with the exception of Roger Clemens, has earned a spot in the Hall of Fame. Only 24 pitchers have ever reached 300-win threshold and with the increase in the use relievers and starting pitchers throwing less innings, this may be the only 24 pitchers in this exclusive club for years to come.

Hall of Famer Steve Carlton, one of the most dominating left-handers in baseball history, reached his 300-win milestone on September 23rd, 1983 when he defeated his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, pitching eight innings, allowing only two earned runs on seven hits, while striking out 12 in the victory.

These maroon stirrups were worn by Carlton during his historic and milestone 300th career win. These knit material stirrups measure 20 inches long and show outstanding use. There are dirt stains on the bottom straps, along with edge wear from straps and upper shins. A great item from Carlton’s 300th win. These stirrups come with a photocopy of a COA from Steve Carlton authenticating the use of these cleats for his 300th win.
