RIP Gary Carter

I was never a Mets or an Expos fan, but as a fan of baseball, I always respected Gary Carter.  He was a tough nosed player (Hall of Famer) whom I met once when I was playing in a wooden bat league in upstate New York. I met him in a casino in Niagara Falls and he was one of the more humble, nicest athletes I've ever met. 

RIP Gary ... even if you crushed my soul in '86 when you made Bill Buckner (and Calvin Schiraldi pitch poorly -- no one wants to mention that) miss that ground ball.
