Baseball's Gary Carter says tumors found on his brain
Former all-star Major League Baseball catcher Gary Carter said Saturday that doctors discovered several “very small” tumors on his brain.
Carter, 57, said he is scheduled for further testing Thursday at Duke Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.
In a statement released on the New York Mets website, Carter said the discovery came from an MRI.
"Earlier today, I learned that four very small tumors have been found on my brain, following an MRI on Friday at a West Palm Beach facility," Carter said. "I am scheduled to be examined further Thursday at Duke Medical Center, and we will learn more at that time about my diagnosis.
"My wife, Sandy, and our children and family thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We ask that you please respect our privacy as we learn more about my medical condition," he said in the statement.
There's no word on whether the tumors are malignant or benign.
Carter, known as "The Kid" throughout his career, was a three-time Golden Glove winner, a five-time Silver Slugger award recipient and was inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame in 2003. At the induction ceremony, he said, "It's nice to know that even though my body feels like an old man now, I will always be a kid at heart."
Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon released a statement about Carter as well. "On behalf of the Mets organization, our thoughts and prayers are with Gary, Sandy and the entire Carter family," it said.
Carter retired in 1992 after 19 seasons with the Montreal Expos; the New York Mets, where he won a pennant; the San Francisco Giants; and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It's not a tumor! Skynet has become self aware...... Get Down!
im a cop you idiot!!..
wonder how much these morons get paid for every derogatory liberal comment.
OP is an arrogant troll
I remember a game in which Ricky Henderson stole 1st, 2nd, 3rd and home from Gary Carter all in one time.
The tumor must already be affecting his thought processes if he thinks the liberal media vultures will really give him his privacy. Liberal jounalists are worst than lawyers when it comes to tact.
Nice spelling.
So are you always this ignorant and rude?
how do you know this is a liberal writing this?? Give it a rest.
I can care less about Carter, his politics ,yours or anyone else's.
It's a news story.I read it and I was informed. Mission accomplished.
Just shut up already.
I'm always puzzled by these people who frankly aren't very high profile any more who come out with something periosnal and then ask for their privacy. Weird. I didn't need to know in the first place Gary. Although I liked ihm as a player.
I agree Jerseygirl, until this very moment I hadn't given Gary Carter any thought unless I was watching the MLB network and they had some old Mets clip on. He already had the privacy in place, and seriously, Gary Carter was no Harmon Killebrew in any shape, manner or form.
My good wishes are with Mr. Carter and his family.
@Skytag: media is media. Why are you trying to politicalize this family's misery?
it's not a turmor... said aronorld
Find a way to get to Gary
TRY RIFE MACHINE .No side effects and it works on killing cancer cells
Its not an automatic out ...look outside the box
xstonedrocker ..a cancer sir vi ver...
You people are absolutly amazing give the kid the respect he deserves if you must troll find another site and gary you are in my thought and prayers keep yourself in good spirits and keep fighting
He's in " The Baseball Hall Of Fame", enough said!!
Godspeed.
Good luck to "The Kid." He was my buddy's favorite player and the person on the first 1987 Topps baseball card I saw. Even if he was a Met, fond memories.
Jimmy Carter?......
This heartbreaking news to me...I grew up watching Gary the Kid number 8! He was such a postive influence to me, and a real good player. I have read his book, and Gary has done much good over the years for chairty. May he blessed and my prayers are for him to get through this health crisis.
John Connor?...
Gary,I followed your career and enjoyed watching your hard play and hustle.I am hoping things go well for you during this difficult time in your life.My prayers to you and your family.Stay strong and fight.We are all pulling for you to come through this and return to a normal healthy,life.
He won a World Series, not just a Pennant, in 1986 against the Boston Red Sox, you idiots.

Baseball is boring. Just another sport about men playing with their bats and balls. They will be terminated also.
Dear Gary Carter.
I too have a brain tumor. I will holding a press conference tomorrow. The press conference will be sponsered by Budwieser and I am inviting all the members of the media to attend. I will be handing out leaflets with my home address, home phone and e-mail. HOWEVER, I would like everyone to respect my privacy and leave my family and myself alone during this difficult time.
Yours,
Nobody
Who calls up the media and ask for privacy?
Fukking athletes.
Be a man and keep it to your own family like the rest of us....then you might garner some respect from folks.
