Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gary Carter

Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter has new tumors on his brain, his daughter announced Thursday on her website.  careingbridge.org/garycarter

Gary Carter was a name I grew up with. In high school we both ran track (high hurdles). I went to Fullerton High and Carter went to Sunny Hills High. One of my high school memories was when we ran against Sunny Hills at Fullerton and I won the race because Carter and David Kingman both went down at the same time and I passed them and won the race. My big claim to fame in high school was beating Carter and Kingman. After high school I followed both of their carriers into MLB. Carter became a bigger name around Fullerton when he got involved with local charities including the Boys and Girls Club of Fullerton.



Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gary Carter and his family in this trying time.
