May 23, 201115 yr Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter played 18 major league seasons while expressing joy and a positive attitude for baseball. That's why his nickname, "The Kid," was so appropriate. The same kind of optimistic approach might serve him well during what must be the scariest time of his life. After getting an MRI on Friday, Carter learned from doctors that he has four "very small" tumors on his brain. They don't know yet if the tumors are malignant; Carter will find out more Thursday, when specialists at Duke University Medical Center examine him. The New York Daily News, which first reported the story, says the 57-year-old Carter "had been complaining of headaches and forgetfulness in recent days." While I wasn't a fan of his while announcing for the Marlins I certainly wish him a speedy recovery
