RIP Gary Carter
Baseball great Gary Carter dies after cancer battle - This Just In - CNN.com Blogs
Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, who played 19 Major League seasons and won a World Series with the New York Mets in 1986, died Thursday in Florida after battling brain cancer, according to Carter's family and the Hall of Fame.
Carter, an 11-time All-Star and two-time All-Star Game MVP, batted .262 with 324 home runs and 1,225 runs in a career that began and ended with the Montreal Expos (1974-1984; 1992), who retired his No. 8 in 1993, 10 years before he would be elected to the Hall of Fame.
He also played for the Mets (1985-1989), the San Francisco Giants (1990) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (1991). MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said Carter, driven by a remarkable enthusiasm for the game, "became one of the elite catchers of all time."

He retired when I was 16. Definitely one of the greats from my childhood era.
I always liked him, despite his being a Met. He was a great player and seemed like a really good guy. Too young to go, my condolences go out to his family and friends.
RIP
