Gary Carter gone..
 

Great player. Great man RIP

He was a one of a kind baseball player - a real team leader...

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends....

One of my faves as a kid.

Never could figure out what that logo said. ELK?

i thought it was JB some canadian term like how the call the hockey team the habs (les habitants) . Makes me remember Ellis Valentine throwing ropes from right to Carter at the plate just waiting on some sap who thought he could score on them,

Very sad to hear of the passing of Gary Carter. A great player and an even greater man.

:tro::tro:

He was a great guy, did a lot for kids in the area I grew up. Big time member of a local church and took his responsibility to the community very seriously. Shame.

I went back and looked at some of the Expos stats. Take 1984 which if i am correct was his final year with the team, he had 27 HR and 106 RBI's, next year quite a drop off at that postion with Spanky Fitzgerald 5 HR and 34 RBI. Anyone know the circumstances of how he left? Free agent to the Mets or trade? I was just wondering how the let the guy go, he had some fine years there. Gone way to soon, very sad. RIP Gary

I didn' t look it up but I thought he was traded for Hubie Brooks.

Hubie Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Herm Winningham and Floyd Youmans.
I knew Brooks and Youmans, but had to look up the other two.

Ok so it was a trade ok, thanks. Gary played with a few guys that went on to be managers. Ken Macha, Jerry Manuel to name a couple. I wonder if he ever had any of those aspirations, he didn't manage in the minors that we know of right?
