At least he got in the HOF early. He was a 'player of the 70s/80s'. RIP Gary. vvv Great Video Below vvvv!!!

I was never a fan of Carter the player, never liked the Mets and I was a huge Carlton Fisk fanatic so I hated anyone compared to him a the catcher spot. I did appreciate the way he played and how great he was off the field though. Here is a great video just posted, his last AB in the majors

John (Z28dude)- Great, great video. That is what the game is all about. That one video actually gave me pause and brought back a bit of the game I have missed for so many years. Thanks for posting it. RIP Gary.

RIP. My dad bought me a catching instructional video by Gary when I was a kid, I used to watch it almost every day.

I am so devastated about this! Heard about this little while ago. I had the privilege of meeting Gary at a local charity event a few years back and such a wonderful human being. A true HOFer in every aspect! My condolences to his entire family!

RIP Gary Carter....you will never be forgotten only your wonderful memories live on!!
