Known as "the Kid," Carter was named an All-Star 11 times and was a member of the 1986 World Series champion Mets. He contributed a 12th-inning single to win Game 5 of the NLCS against Houston, and started the Mets' comeback rally in Game 6 of the World Series with a 10th-inning single against Boston. The Expos retired his number 8, and in 2003 he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
