The TRAGIC Death Of Gary Carter, How He Lived Is Sad...

#garycarter #baseballgame #baseballplayer
When people saw Gary Carter on the field, they thought of him as charming, heroic, and indestructible. But little did they know, a ruthless enemy called cancer was soon about to take away this champion from us. This is the story of Gary Carter’s fight with cancer, let’s get into it.
Gary Edmund Carter was born on April 8, 1954, in Culver City, California, near Los Angeles. He was the younger of two sons born to James H. Carter and Inge Carter. After World War II, Jim Carter, who was a mechanically minded man from Kentucky, moved to California and took on technical jobs in Hollywood. By the time Gary was born, Jim was working as an aviation-parts inspector for Hughes Aircraft Company, a significant employer in Southern California’s aerospace industry. So you can bet he was rolling in that dough!
Inge Charlotte Keller, born in Chicago in 1929, was the daughter of German immigrants who came to the U.S. in the 1920s. Gary often credited his athletic ability to his mother, who was a champion swimmer. But even though he got those good genes, he once humorously admitted, "Funnily enough, I’m a terrible swimmer." Ironic, Am I right?
Gary's own sports journey began with Little League baseball at age six, but he was also equally passionate about and talented in football. In 1961, the NFL held the first Punt, Pass & Kick contest, and seven-year-old Gary became the national champion in his age group at the Los Angeles Coliseum. How adorable!

He was my childhood baseball hero! During a game in San Francisco. My grandfather gave my Montreal Expo to a security cop and Gary Carter singed it for me. Will never forget it! R.I.P. Gary Carter.

He died young, but the way he lived was not sad. He was an amazing person who did everything with joy that ALL of us could learn a lesson from and try to emulate. Not a Mets fan, but he is one of my all-time favorites from watching baseball for over 50 years.

He was Mr. Expo. What a fine player he was. Life sadly cut short.

[@seen48]

I am a Mets fan because of Gary Carter. When he left the Expos I left with him. All time favourite player. So sad when he passed. May he still rest in peace. 😇 ⛅️

[@briankistner4331]

I had no idea he had cancer and had died..... The guy was a STUD! Played in an era of so many great catchers. Bench, Munson, Fisk, Simmons, Tennace, Yeager, Porter and probably some I missed.

[@jamesfinnin7496]

[@christinelord142]

What a great player he was. I felt so sad when he passed, and so young. Rest in Peace Gary Carter.

We LOVED Gary Carter in Montreal. There is a street named after him here. RIP.

Carter was one of my childhood heros. I loved watching him play with the Expos. I was sad to see him traded to the Mets. Good Video.

I talked to Gary several times in Reno in 2008, when he managed the Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League and the Flyers would come up to play Reno. Gary was kind enough to sign a Baseball for me which I still have somewhere.

[@denncorby4115]

His Flyers played at Cal State Fullerton in his home town. It was truly awesome to see him home and happy before the darkness took him from us.

[@BobbyBoca]

Was one of my favorite players when I was younger … R.I.P Kid

[@patrickpaes6653]

He was always one of my favorite catchers

[@shawndavis8906]

Why did you use a picture of Jimmy Carter in this video?

[@peterdelbove2838]

There have been quite a few former Phillies players die of brain cancer (Veteran’s Stadium) . Newspapers have started to try and relate these deaths to early types of astroturfs. Immediately thought of ex-Expos Gary Carter when reading the article.

[@timwilliams8047]

Didn't know he passed always liked his hustle

[@darrenmoran3539]

Only player in mlb history to have 2 hrs in all star game and ws game

[@prepperboss]

His dad was not Jimmy Carter.

[@saifonlawrence2044]

No, but he was related to Gomers nemesis Sargeant Carter.

[@saifonlawrence2044]

Gary "is the camera on me ?" Carter

[@alexfoster71]

Great video, but the gentleman in the Navy uniform is Jimmy Carter, the 39th President.

[@darrenmoran3539]

[@hadiitiniguez2393]

Gary was an RBI machine...

[@logalogalog]

Click bait title. Thumbs down for that reason.

[@chrislewis5069]

Don't appreciate you putting these false titles that make the players look bad and like they weren't good people. That's what's sad about you

[@italianwaterice9594]

[@cdcubs8727]

Doubt his dad was jimmy carter. That's who that picture is

[@tplomonte]

The 7up kid

[@Landis_Grant]

Supposed Christian man Gary Carter cried like a baby when he found out he had terminal cancer (he died at age 57) and that God was going to take him home to Heaven.
