Peter Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. RIP Gary. I enjoyed watching him play. Far too young.
CowgirlsFan Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I can still see him playing in the World Series against the Red Sox. A true gutty player.
Gordio Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah I have been following the story for a few months & I knew he was in rough shape. Just got diagnosed last may. That 86 teams holds a special place in my heart. I was only 12 at the time & sports was everything to me back then. Although he only played 5 years with the Mets those 85/86 seasons were some the funnest times I had following a baseball team. I am not going to lie & say Carter was my favorite guy on that team(although looking back thru the eyes of a semi mature 38 year old now he probably should of been)I will say this about Carter. He was genuine, a class act & played the game the right way with passion & dignity. The baseball world is going to miss you Kid. Edited February 17, 2012 by Gordio

SelmonSmith6378 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I'd like to say sorry, but as a nerd, I don;t know who the hell that is. Backstory, anyone?
