Keep a good thought for Gary Carter

January 26, 2012

“The Kid” is not doing so well these days. The NY Times‘ Richard Sandomir wrote about Carter’s condition a couple of days ago, focusing on Carter’s daughter, Kimmy Bloemers, and her efforts to keep fans up-to-date through a blog, which appears to be invitation only to view.

The article refers to this 7-Up commercial, which is typical of the day and was probably shown only in the Montreal market.

Carter was the agent of a lot of happy memories for Mets fans in the mid 1980s, so here’s wishing him and his family peace.

Carter collaborated on a couple of books about his life inside and outside the game, including Still a Kid at Heart: My Life in Baseball and Beyond and A Dream Season.
