Gary Carter Dead At 57

Gary Carter, the Hall of Fame catcher with an endearingly exuberant personality that earned him the nickname "The Kid," died today. He was 57. Carter was diagnosed with brain cancer in May 2011, and last month his daughter revealed that new tumors had been discovered. In his 19-year career, Carter hit 324 home runs and was an 11-time All-Star; he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003. The signature moment of his career came during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, when his single in the 10th inning sparked the rally that would eventually lead the New York Mets to a championship.
