I never followed Baseball when I was younger....but I remember him.
....it was because of this - the man had the greatest smile:

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.

One of my favorite baseball cards growing up.
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...
