” I wish I could have lived my life like Gary Carter… He was a true man… I have always respected him”
– Darryl Strawberry
Gary Carter’s passing has brought out one common theme over and over again. He was more than just a baseball player. In a day when athletes are often remembered for their ability to play the game, and their passion (which Carter is being remembered for) Carter is being equally honored for his character and his positive influence on others.
“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives”
– Jackie Robinson
Gary Carter truly was one of the greats: A great family man, a great teammate, a great friend to many, one of greatest MLB catchers EVER, and leaves a great legacy. Gary will be so missed.
