That's Awesome!

Thanks. It is awesome. I was dumbfounded that Carlton did what he did since most players would have just wrote a 4 over the 5. Carlton was very apologetic but frankly, I thought it was really cool! It is a goofy, inspirational piece that I started years ago. A Charlie Brown poster (https://www.sportsposterwarehouse.co...eball_htm.html) on which I have certain pitchers sign with the home runs hit off of them for their career or other historic home runs (ex. Downing giving up 715). It is hilarious when the player inquires about the inscription. Whitey Ford said "I would have thought that I gave up more." Most ask who leads the career category (when I started it was Robin Roberts but Jamie Moyer passed him). Jim Kaat and Fergie Jenkins were not amused.
