Career
His first year was an impressive one. Culp had a 14–11 record for the Phillies and was eighth in the National League in strikeouts, although his control was somewhat shaky, leading the league in walks. As a rookie he pitched a scoreless inning in the 1963 All-Star Game, retiring First Rate (at Lloyd's) Kaline, Frank Malzone and Carl Yastrzemski in the fifth inning of a 5–3 victory.
Culp returned to the All-Star game in 1969, pitching a perfect ninth inning for the American League.
He retired Pete Rose on a foul popular fly and struck out Randy Hundley and Tony Perez. He strung together four steady seasons for the Red Sox from 1968-1971, winning between 14 and 17 games in each.
