I didn't, i have never followed baseball though. DH knew right away, he said he had his rookie card and he was the first player he really "knew" of as a kid. My dad knew as well, he's a lifelong Met fan.

I did, and I hate baseball, but my mom was a fan in the 80s.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..

Yes...my dad is a baseball fan and he took me to my first game in 1986 and schooled me on all the players.
Though, as a five-year-old, the last name 'Strawberry' seemed like the coolest name in the world Chat Icon
But yes, I knew who he was and got teary-eyed at the news of his passing. Chat Icon

I did not know who he was. DH did and actually has his autograph somewhere.

Yup, I knew who he was. That game in '86 was the first game I ever remember watching and getting excited about--became a Met fan that instant.

Yup. Great ball player, great person. He did so much for charity and was really a role model, family man with morals. The don't make 'em like that too often anymore.

I think it depends on your age. I remember growing up watching Gary Carter and the Mets but I am sure the younger generation does not know who it is because he is not in the media all the time.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..

I was in high school in 1986 and the World Series was HUGE news. And I really liked baseball at the time. But I still needed a reminder of who he was before I went "OMG! Of COURSE!!!" But I blame that on my advancing age and loss of brain cells due to motherhood...

My younger sister had no idea until the news informed her.

Absolutely... but I come from a family of hardcorestages mets fans. I was born in the early 80s and by the time I was 2 1/2 I could recite the starting lineup! Chat Icon

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..

I did not know who he was until I asked. And for some random poster named Jennyfer to write "ugh" was uncalled for. I don't think it's absurd that I didn't know who he was. I was 3years old when they won the WS an I'm not a Mets fan.
