Carter was one of those guys who had decent talent but delivered tremendous effort everytime he played. It's a shame these things happen.

Was also a great guy. I had the pleasure of spending about 90 minutes of one on one time with him when I was 15 as I tried to continue my dominance as Mid Suburban Catcher of the decade.

"god bless us every one!" Now, back to the thread's subject, my prayers go out to Mr Carter and his family...no one deserves this fate but it is the fate of us all to die...may he find strength in whatever he believes!
