FameRank: 4

"Gary Edmund Carter" was an American professional baseball catcher whose 21-year career was spent primarily with the Montreal Expos and New York Mets. Nicknamed ""Kid"" for his youthful exuberance, Carter was named an Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star 11 times, and was a member of the 1986 World Champion Mets.

Known throughout his career for his hitting and his excellent defense behind the plate, Carter made a major contribution to the Mets' World Series championship in 1986, including a 12th-inning single against the Houston Astros that won Game 5 of the 1986 National League Championship Series/NLCS and a 10th-inning single against the Boston Red Sox to start the fabled comeback rally in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series/World Series. He is one of only four people ever to be named Captain (baseball)/captain of the Mets, and he had his List of Major League Baseball retired numbers/number retired by the Expos.

After retiring from baseball, Carter coached baseball at the college and minor-league level. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum/National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Carter was the first Hall of Famer whose plaque depicts him as a member of the Montreal Expos.

The frustrating events involving some Jockey Club charges concerning my conduct, which were dropped then re-formed, have dealt a fatal blow to my chances of securing more than a couple of regular rides this year and made my decision inevitable.
