Now, THIS is tragic. The drug-addict alcoholic and self-destructive Whitney Houston's demise isn't remotely comparable to this. Yet I guarantee you Houston's death will continue to generate headlines for years, while Carter's tragic young death will barely register on the radar.

Truly a nice guy too and someone who deserves to be mourned.

RIP "The Kid."


Bonus points for being a footnote in the story of David Cone hitting Carter's wife in the tunnel pregame once...
