Title: SIAP: Gary Carter dead at 57 Post by: cbbama99 on February 16, 2012, 06:25:37 PM http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/remembering-kid-gary-carter-dies-age-57-231403315.html
I really hated to see this. One of the great catchers of all time, and one of my favorite players growing up. God bless the Carter family. Title: Re: SIAP: Gary Carter dead at 57 Post by: 2Stater on February 16, 2012, 06:38:12 PM :(

Last of the good Mets! Title: Re: SIAP: Gary Carter dead at 57 Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 17, 2012, 07:49:03 AM Hated to see this too. I had not heard of his battle with cancer.
It was hard to not like Gary Carter if you were any type of baseball fan at all. Guy seemed to love the game and played it in a hard-nosed fashion, which is true of any good catcher. I believe at one point he'd been behind the plate for more MLB games than any catcher in history. Pudge or someone may have broken that record by now.

He was a man that stood tall in life and in baseball. Pray God's Blessings on his family. RTR! |
