Gary Carter

Nickname: Kid, Kid Carter, Captain Nice Guy
Career Stats: .262 AVG, .439 SLG, 324 HR, 1225 RBI, 1025 R, 371 2B
DYK: Growing up Gary Carter seemed like the nicest guy in baseball. I'm not sure if he was or wasn't but his smile sure made him seem somewhere between genuine and snake-oil salesman. Regardless of the dude's persona, he was a heck of Catcher. He was definitely my favorite growing up. He played 19 seasons, he's in the Hall of Fame, he played for the Expos. Prior to suiting up for the Expos, he signed a letter of intent to play football at UCLA.
