Gary Carter’s Signing Was the Product of a Scout’s Scheming - NYTimes.com - John Klima - The ploy was simple. Zuk loved Carter, but he did not want anybody else to know how much he loved him. So while Carter played that spring, Zuk spied on him. He ordered his associate to no longer attend his games. Instead, Zuk scouted Carter with binoculars in his car or hid in the bushes and trees, careful not to let his cigar smoke give him away. Now he hoped Carter would fall to the Expos in the June draft.
'Kid' lived a life of grace and giving | FOX Sports - Bob Klapisch -Carter was a Met who lived beyond the excesses of the '80s. There were no drugs in his world, no booze, no girlfriends on the side. Kid was straight out of Ozzie and Harriet, faithful to his wife, Sandy, devoted to his children, always smiling, bestowing corny nicknames upon anyone who came his way.
Gary Carter's emotional final at-bat [video] - LATimes.com - His final game came on Sept. 27, 1992.

Jonathan Krause says New York Mets legend Gary Carter was a big help in his winning fight over leukemia - NYPost.com - My mother reached out to Jay Horwitz in the Mets front office and arranged for me to meet Gary before a home game in the summer of 1988. Weakened and fattened by chemotherapy, without hair, I met Gary outside the Mets dugout before the game. There, he signed a baseball with the inscription “To Jonathan. Get well soon! Keep the faith. Best of luck. God Bless, Gary Carter.”
