Gary Carter was born on this day in 1954. Let's remember one of the game's brightest stars. ⭐ | MLB

On October 14, 1986, Gary Carter—ice-cold at the plate with just one hit in his last 21 at-bats—came through when the Mets needed him most. In the bottom of the 12th inning of Game 5 of the NLCS, “The Kid” lined a walk-off single to lift New York past the Houston Astros 2-1, giving the Mets a commanding 3-2 series lead. It was a defining redemption moment for a future Hall of Famer who thrived when the lights burned brightest. #GaryCarter #MetsHistory #NLCS1986 #PostseasonMagic #MLBClassics | Ch
