Ga-Ry-Car-Ter

That's how the man's name is pronounced in Quebec-French. 

He is the best catcher of the 80's. Tony Pena and a couple of others might have been better on Defense. But he was good there too. And boy, to hear pitchers tell it, he could call a game. And he was THE best hitting catcher. In Montreal and in New York.

 

 'There's no way I'm making the last f------ out.'  - Gary Carter in the 1986 World Series. (A devout man, he almost never cursed - but he was a gamer).
