NEW YORK -- Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter passed away Thursday after a
lengthy battle with brain cancer. He was 57.
Best known for his role on the 1986 World Series champion Mets and for his
10-year run with the Expos that preceded it, Carter had been battling cancer
since doctors discovered inoperable tumors on his brain in May 2011. His
condition took a turn for the worse when an MRI revealed new tumors in
January 2012.
Nicknamed "Kid," Carter hit 24 homers and knocked in 105 runs for the 1986
Mets, earning one of his 11 career All-Star selections and finishing third in
National League MVP Award voting. His leap into the arms of reliever Jesse
Orosco after the final out of World Series Game 7 remains one of the most
indelible images in Mets history.
Carter hit 324 home runs over a 19-year run with the Expos, Mets, Giants and
Dodgers, finishing his career back where he started, in Montreal in 1992. He
entered the Hall of Fame in 2003 with an Expos cap, on a plaque referring to
his "signature smile" and clutch hitting. Carter was also inducted into the
Mets Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. His
uniform No. 8 is retired by the Expos.
Carter, who spent time managing two of New York's Class A Minor League
affiliates last decade and was named Gulf Coast League Manager of the Year in
2005, most recently served as the head baseball coach at Palm Beach Atlantic
University in Florida. Before his illness, Carter had been outspoken in his
desire to one day manage the Mets.
The New York Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America honored
Carter in January 2012 with its Milton Richman/Dan Castellano "You Gotta Have
Heart" award.
Carter is survived by his wife, Sandy; his daughters, Kimmy and Christy; his
son, D.J.; and three grandchildren.
