CowgirlsFan Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can still see him playing in the World Series against the Red Sox. A true gutty player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted February 17, 2012 Share 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.
