NYTimes.com: Gary Carter, the slugging catcher known as Kid for the sheer joy he took in playing baseball, who entered the Hall of Fame as a Montreal Expo but who most famously helped propel the Mets to their dramatic 1986 World Series championship, died Thursday. He was 57.

He'll always be an Expo to me. The trade that sent him to the Mets was just one of so many stupid decisions made by Montreal management over the years, particularly after the heartbreaking '81 season. It's hard to believe that a team could be saddled with owners of that level of incompetence.
Thanks for sharing information.
