Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hall of Fame catcher Gary "Kid" Carter died Thursday. He was 57 years old. More to follow...

 

An 11-time All-Star, Carter won three Golden Gloves and five Silver Slugger awards in his career. The 1983 All-Star Game MVP was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 as an Expo. The Expos retired Carter's number 8, also in 2003.

 

Carter may have spent the majority of his career in Montreal, but most people will remember him for what he did in his five years in New York, where he became the final piece of the puzzle for a championship team that probably - through no fault of his own - should have won more than it did.

 

Whether it was his brilliant performance in the 1983 All-Star Game, or his walk-off home run in his first game with the Mets in 1985, Carter provided so many big moments. None, though, will top what he did in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

 

And he didn't. In fact, nobody did that night. Carter started maybe the most significant rally in baseball history with a little single and the rest as they say is history.

 

It's not like anyone is going to speak ill of people when they die, but there is nobody who can say a bad word about him. If you want to see what his teammates thought of him, take a gander at the SNY web site at some point and listen to Keith Hernandez break down talking about his friend.

 

That's the type of guy Gary Carter was.

 

Sure, Carter had his flaws. Everyone does. Some people said he was arrogant. He probably was. Show me a professional athlete who isn't. That attitude is probably a big reason why they made it so far in the first place.

 

The slim chance that he may have had was probably gone. And that fight ended on Thursday.

The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
