RIP Kid! Who would have ever thought with Doc and Straw on that team that a guy who lived a pretty clean life like Carter would be the first to go?? Sad stuff...
I saw Gary play hundreds of games in Mtl. No one played harder, and he did so at the hardest position. He was quick like a cat around the plate and even raced down the line on grounders to back up firstbase, and did so on cement like turf. He caught 150 GAMES PER YEAR several times in Montreal - incredible given how hard and hurt he played for us. I`m convinced his career was shortened due to the supreme extra effort he gave to Mtl. Thanks Gary, RIP.
Don't go messin' w/ "The KID". A definite team leader. His base hit in game 6 of the 1986 WS started one of the most improbable comebacks in WS history. He simply said, "I'm not making the last out" Say what you want, but "The KID" played hurt and hard all the time.
No, I was a die hard Mets fan as a child in the 1980's. however being a Mets hater IS a possibility when they turn Shea Stadium to dust at the conclusion of the 2008 campaign. but the truth is that Keith Hernandez went quietly in 10th inning on 10/25/86 putting the Mets on the brink of elimination, and if davey Johnson did not pull the plug on Ron Darling in the 4th inning of game 7, the red Sox wouldn't have had to wait till 2004 to brag about their first modern day title
rest in peace Gary Carter!!!!!!
