Gary Carter nicknamed "Kid", or "Kid Carter" was a catcher from 1974-1992. Carter played with the Montreal Expos, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers. During his career, Carter established himself as one of the premier catchers in the National League. He won three Gold Glove awards (1980, 1981, 1982), and five Silver Slugger awards (1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986). He also played first base and outfield, being chosen for his first All-Star Game roster (in 1975) as an outfielder rather than as a catcher. Carter was a career .262 hitter with 324 home runs and 1225 RBI. Over his 19-year career, he ranks sixth all-time in career home runs by a catcher with 298, and was selected as an All-Star eleven times, winning the Most Valuable Player award in the 1981 and 1984 games. He is thus far the only player from the Expos to have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. With the Mets, Carter enjoyed consistent production with 32 home runs and 100 RBI in 1985; and 24 home runs and 105 RBI in 1986, winning his only World Series championship in that season. Carter will be forever remembered by Mets fans as the man who started the Mets 10th inning two out Game 6 rally in the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
