I wondered if there was a thread about him. Heard the news the morning after it happened. He was one of my alltime favorite players. Brain cancer, dead at 57, he was only a mere 8 years older than myself.
Luckily I got to see him in a couple of games at Jarry Park back in '76 while I was in Mtl for the Olympics. Highlights I took away from those games were Carter, Larry Parrish, and that funny old guy in the stands who sold bags of peanuts in the shell and threw them to you and you throw the coins back at him. The guy always got the coins, and he somehow delivered those peanuts right to you every time.
Great memories. R.I.P. Gary Carter.
