NEW YORK -- Gary Carter was nicknamed "Kid" for good reason.
His smile, bubbly personality and eagerness to excel on a ballfield made him a joy to watch at the plate and behind it.
Even his Hall of Fame bronze plaque at Cooperstown shows him with a toothy grin -- the Kid forever.
The star catcher, the first player enshrined in the Hall of Fame wearing an Expos cap, died Thursday. He was 57.
Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour
