Wake Up With Gary Carter Hitting A Game-Winning Double In His Final At-Bat
It doesn’t matter if you were a Mets fan. It doesn’t matter if you were an Expos fan. Hell, it doesn’t even matter if you never got the chance to see Gary Carter play. This. This right here is what baseball fans live for — moments like these. Of course, it’s about the championships, too. Carter won one of those, and it was his base hit that began the Mets’ epic (heartbreaking) comeback against the Red Sox in the 1986 World Series. But to be a Hall of Fame player, and to have been drafted by the Expos, and go on to play 11 seasons in Montreal, then get traded away to the Mets, win a World Series, and then eight years later, find your way back home to Montreal for one last season, and then hit a game-winning double in your final at-bat in front of 41,802 Expos fans, and to get to share that final moment of your baseball career with the same people who watched it begin — that’s what baseball fans live for. Moments like this.
