Carter is only in the Hall as an Expo because the HOF knew the Expos were either being contracted or moving and wanted someone in the Hall with an Expos cap. Carter himself wanted a Mets cap and is more well known as a World Series hero with the Mets. Carter has the exact same profile as Reggie Jackson, who played more years in Oakland and put up better numbers in Oakland but was a World Series hero in NY (except Reggie won more titles in Oakland than NY). 68.173.209.19 13:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
No hes in the hall of fame as an Expo becaue he played two times more seasons with the Expos then he did with the Mets.-- Yankees10 13:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Who called him "Kid Carter?" I've never heard that nickname used. Source please, or I may delete. Dissento ( talk) 19:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
It should just be "Kid" not "The Kid" - case in point: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/sports/baseball/gary-carter-exuberant-power-hitting-catcher-dies-at-57.html?google_editors_picks=true — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.110.202 ( talk) 02:04, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I thought his nickname was "Camera" Carter 99.248.236.33 ( talk) 01:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Farewell to one of the all time greats
The "people with cancer" category needs to come off this article because he is no longer living. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.208.134.59 ( talk) 21:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
The article text and infobox contain contradictory information on whether the number has been retired by the Expos. There isn't a citation for either assertion (that is has or that it hasn't been retired). ( 141.211.173.77 ( talk) 16:34, 24 February 2012 (UTC))
Please note that there appear to still be accessibility issues with Template:fraction (though perhaps for the "1/2" case it is appropriately handled by most screen readers, but at the moment, it is still against Wikipedia's manual of style regarding fractions to use the precomposed 1/2 character). The mets=y/Archive 15#Unicode vs. fraction templates in standings|last time this was discussed specifically by WikiProject Baseball |mets=y was some time ago; generally speaking, though, Wikipedia's manual of style and guidance for accessibility should be followed. isaacl ( talk) 05:58, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Regarding the Verducci quote I moved from the "1986 World Series Champions" section to the section on his illness and death: since the quote mostly deals with Carter's personality and its effects on his teammates throughout his tenure with the Mets, and generally is not specific to the 1986 season, I believe it fits better as an eulogizing statement within the illness and death section. However, if the intent is to just note Carter's role on the team, I think it may be better to include this information as prose with an inline citation to an appropriate reliable source, rather than as a quote. From the existing quote, all that could be said is "Carter was a huge part of the competitiveness of the 1986 team;" I don't think this is sufficiently revealing. isaacl ( talk) 07:51, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Since Carter was credited with creating the term " f-bomb" by Merriam-Webster, shouldn't it be in the article? -- 76.65.128.252 ( talk) 12:38, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Regarding this edit: no consensus was reached in this discussion to include this information. isaacl ( talk) 00:14, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Well, I digress. it seems the only reason, I can see, that no consensus was reached is because you are the only stick in the mud. And Carter may or may not have coined the phrase but it seems he, and only him, is being credited with introducing it into popular usage and culture. Hey, Google Carter and f bomb and read the articles ... you see, it seems to matter to quite a few people. So, given that Carter was such a do gooder and the Kid, it is actually quite germane and surprising that he'd make this curious contribution to popular culture. And its only a flipping sentence, give the man that! So stop being the BAD COP and be the BON COP. I grew up in Montreal and man, was he a great player, and great guy, lived in Kirkland, not far from me. Geez, that 81 Dodgers series ripped our hearts out. I hope you will pay for it, Rick Monday! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.26.44.6 ( talk) 03:01, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
