Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Growing up in New York whether you were a fan of the Yankees or the Mets, it was hard not to get caught up with what was going on at Shea Stadium in the Summer of 1986. A big reason for the excitement that summer was the exuberant play of Gary Carter. On Thursday, Carter passed away at the age of 57, succumbing to brain cancer.

 

An 11-time All-Star, Carter won three Golden Gloves and five Silver Slugger awards in his career. The 1983 All-Star Game MVP was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 as an Expo. The Expos retired Carter's number 8, also in 2003.

 

Although, I grew up about 20 minutes away from Shea Stadium, the Yankees were the team I rooted for. But, for some reason most of my baseball memories in the '80s come from the Mets and, more specifically, Gary Carter.

 

Whether it was his brilliant performance in the 1983 All-Star Game, or his walk-off home run in his first game with the Mets in 1985, Carter provided so many big moments. None, though, will top what he did in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

 

Trailing by two runs to the Boston Red Sox, who by the way had just been congratulated on the Diamond Vision screen for their World Series win, Carter walked through the dugout yelling to anyone who could hear him that he wasn't going to be the one to make that last out.

 

Dwight Gooden may have described who Carter was the best Friday morning during a radio interview. After Gooden had the first of his substance abuse problems back in 1986, Carter would often visit him at the Smithers Clinic after games and just talk to him, see how he was doing from a personal standpoint. Never once did Carter ask when he was coming back. All he wanted to make sure was that Gooden got better.

 

That's the type of guy Gary Carter was.

 

Sure, Carter had his flaws. Everyone does. Some people said he was arrogant. He probably was. Show me a professional athlete who isn't. That attitude is probably a big reason why they made it so far in the first place.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
