RIP Gary Carter

The passing of Gary Carter today after a battle with cancer is indeed a sad loss for the world of baseball. Carter a Hall of Famer, a World Series champion with the 1986 Mets and the first player to go into the Hall of Fame with a Montreal Expos cap was one of the great catchers of his era and commanded a tremendous amount of respect around the baseball world. 'The Kid" Won three Gold Gloves and best defensive catcher and five Silver Slugger awards for his batting ability. Clearly he had what it took to be a leader both on and off the field and will be missed.
