The Kid, the 11-time all-star catcher who never failed to bring total enthusiasm and joy to a baseball field in his entire life. Carter was the first truly great player for the Montreal Expos ? the team that spawned the Washington Nationals ? and he was the heart and soul of the 1986 Mets team that won one of the most memorable World Series in baseball history.
Carter died Thursday at age 57, nine months after being diagnosed with brain cancer. When the news broke last spring that Carter had tumors on his brain and that the prognosis was about as bad as it could get, there was an overwhelming sadness among baseball people. But there was also a sense that if anybody could beat an unbeatable disease, it would be The Kid, because that?s who he was his entire life.
RIP Gary Carter.
