For Love of the Game: Gary Carter, 1954-2012

“You see, I always have been a fan of the game first and a ballplayer second. Maybe that’s why I had the love and passion for this great game so much.”—Catcher Gary Carter, induction speech, Baseball Hall of Fame, July 23, 2003

Thanks, Kid, for displaying the heart of a champion everywhere you went. You brought a love for the summer game and an indomitable spirit. All fans, no matter what their allegiance, can only tip their hat in tribute and marvel at you. Rest in peace.
