|   Very sad to hear of the passing of Gary Carter.  A great player and an even greater man.

|   He was a great guy, did a lot for kids in the area I grew up. Big time member of a local church and took his responsibility to the community very seriously. Shame.

|   I went back and looked at some of the Expos stats. Take 1984 which if i am correct was his final year with the team, he had 27 HR and 106 RBI's, next year quite a drop off at that postion with Spanky Fitzgerald 5 HR and 34 RBI. Anyone know the circumstances of how he left? Free agent to the Mets or trade? I was just wondering how the let the guy go, he had some fine years there. Gone way to soon, very sad. RIP Gary

|   Ok so it was a trade ok, thanks. Gary played with a few guys that went on to be managers. Ken Macha, Jerry Manuel to name a couple. I wonder if he ever had any of those aspirations, he didn't manage in the minors that we know of right?
