Mets honor Gary Carter on Opening Day - Newsday - Carter's wife, Sandy Carter, and their three children stood at the wall in left-center and pulled down a blue drape to reveal a black symbol shaped like home plate with "Kid" above an "8" -- Gary's nickname and number for nearly his entire 19-year career. The players wore a similar patch on their right sleeve. Members of his family were then escorted by former teammate and current Mets third base coach Tim Teufel to a spot in front of the mound where they watched a video tribute on the scoreboard. Sandy and the three children, D.J., Christy and Kimmy, threw out ceremonial first pitches to Gary's teammates on that championship club, Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Mookie Wilson.
