njmeadowlanders Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My first ever baseball shirt was a Mets #8 infant sized one complete with pinstripes and matching Mets pinstripe shorts. I was only 10 months old when they won it all in '86, so I never saw him play, but RIP nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Today, we are all miracles. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I knew this was going to happen,but it does not change a thing. I am devastated. I wish he could have lived and comeback to Flushing one more time to have #8 retired. To honor the 86 team, and to honor the Mets history. I wish he could have lived to get a chance to manage in the majors, oh if he kept his mouth shut maybe the Mets would have given him a chance. It truly is sad. As an 8 year old you drift in and out on sports and 1984 was the first year I sorta followed the Mets, as Christmas approached the Mets got him from Montreal and the rest is history. Opening Day Walk Off Homer in 1985 a few days later I went to my first game at Shea. Mets vs Reds, Pete Rose was jeered, Bruce Beryni and the Mets got a shutout and the one run scored a Carter Home Run. His poster was on my wall of course and I even went Trick of Treating as Gary Carter that year. Had the Mets not had a bad six week stretch when Carter, Straw and few others were hurt they would have won the World Series. I think the 1985 may have been better than 1986 and I still think Gary Carter should have been NL MVP that year.Truly sad. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
