Gary Carter is one of the greatest Expos to ever step foot onto the turf of Olympic Stadium. Montreal’s All-Star catcher during his tenure in la belle province, Carter was also the first player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a member of the Montreal Expos, where he spent the first decade of his career, from 1974 until 1984, when he was traded to the New York Mets.
While a member of the Expos, Carter was a force both behind and at home plate – with a wicked arm that would cut down runners attempting to steal and a bat with a lot of pop, he was one of the game’s best catchers. Over the course of his 21-year career, Carter slugged 324 home runs along with a .264 batting average and 1,225 RBIs. Furthermore, Carter received numerous accolades throughout the course of his illustrious career, including but not limited to: 11x All-Star (1975, 1979-1988), World Series Champion (1986), 3x Gold Glove Award (1980-1982), 5x Silver Slugger Award (1981, 1982, 1984-1986), Roberto Clemente Award (1989), and he was the NL RBI leader in 1984. Finally, his number (8) was retired by the Montreal Expos and he was enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 – the first member to be inducted donning an Expos cap.
