Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..
Nope. Grew up in NY and still had no clue. I saw something in my News Feed last night about Mets fans remembering someone, but I didn't pay attention. I watched our local news in Chicago and it didn't make it into the sports segment.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..
Absolutely, but I am in my late 30s. IF you grew up in the 80s, you would know who he is. It would be like not knowing who ARod is now.

THANK YOU!
this was the point i was trying to make esp on the other post..
i was not comparing deaths or media coverage..i was simply surprised how many people had not a clue who he was and had to google
just like u said it would be like today not knowing who a rod or derek jeter is
esp also bc it has been on the news and in the papers
eta..i did not mean if u were a kid in the 80's i meant if u asked a group of adults who were say 17 and alive in 1986 i think most would know who he is

Nope. I was born in '86, so I don't remember a whole lot of the 80's.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..
HUGE Mets fan here, so I knew. But that's why I posted about it on the sports board. I figured it would be lost on this board.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..
Yes I know who he is. I am very surprised that so many people do not know who he is.
Like you said, I am surprised because I thought everyone lived in NY or followed baseball in the 80's knew who he was.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..
Yes, I had a crush on him and Lenny Dykstra when I was 8 lol. And I remember the 86 World Series, even though my family isn't huge sports fans.

Re: bc i am so curious....did u know who gary carter was..
Yes - I was a big Mets fan growing up and he was one of my favorites. I'll never forget watching game six of the 1986 series and he was at bat with 2 outs and got the rally going. I remember saying to my parents "there is NO WAY that Gary Carter will be the last out of the world series!"
DH is still a BIG Mets fan and apparently was a HUGE Gary Carter fan growing up - he loved him when he played in Canada for the Expos (I think?)
We went on vacation a few years ago to Quebec and happened to find a tiny baseball museum in the old city and there was this entire room dedicated to Gary Carter. DH was in heaven.
He was such a great player, a great ambassador for the sport as a player, coach and manager, and a wonderfully devoted husband and father.
Rest in Peace to "the Kid"

I was born in 1983. I've heard of several Mets players from the 80's. Never heard of Gary Carter until last night.

Actually for a fleeting moment I mixed him up in my mind with Gary Coleman, until I remembered he was dead already.
OMG me too! 
after a minute yes I realized who he was. i'm a huge yankees fan.
I thought I was the only one who did this!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't- my family and friends, ex boy friends and now DH were all yankee fans so I never followed the Met players.
