Last Thursday, we all learned about the sad passing of former Met and HOFer Gary Carter. Kid was 57 and was enduring a tough battle with brain cancer, as his daughter noted on her blog (seen here).This is very sad news for any Mets fan. Even the ones who never saw him play, myself included. He was a captain of our team; he was the final piece to the puzzle that was the 1986 Mets. When I think of great catchers, Carter is always one of the first to come to mind.
The Mets community has really come out to support Carter and his family during this difficult time. Darren Meenan at The7Line invited fans to come pay their respects outside Citi Field, by the marker of Shea's home plate.
