Stand Up for Gary Carter

25 years ago today Gary Carter stepped to the plate with no one on, two men out and his team trailing by 2 runs.
Carter singled to center field to start the most amazing rally in the history of baseball (stakes included).
Now Carter faces a much tougher opponent, cancer. Carter is battling brain cancer with chemotherapy and other treatments.
His former batterymate Ron Darling "stands up" for Carter in a new ad.

Poor Kid. Every so often we read Mets A to Z with Darren. When we get to the page with Gary Carter he now says that he has a boo-boo.

classy move by Ronny D. When I saw the commercial on tv I'm not gonna lie, I teared up. I still remember his first game as a Met like it was yesterday. It was a walk off HR before the term was popular. "Welcome to NY Gary Carter."

My heart goes out to him and his family. I'm not a doctor, but it seems like the odds here are not great. Let's hope he can beat them.
