Because he won a title in '86 I suppose that's why they go with him as a met... But he IS an expo.. it's what he went in the hall wearing..
Allow me to finish your (...)
...he really wanted to go in as a Met
Na.. his heart was in Montreal. They absolutely love him there.. greatest expo ever.
Unlike Vlad, who they also love, but he chose the Angels anyways. Montreal was dead during Vlad. It was nuts during Gary
In 2003, catcher Gary Carter had to choose between the Montreal Expos and New York Mets. Carter played 11 seasons with the Expos and five with the Mets. Montreal no longer has a team and Carter felt connected to the Mets because he played on their 1986 World Series title team. But the Hall said he had to go in as an Expo.
Yes, but it was mostly because the Expos were no longer going to be a team, is why he felt that way. He felt his best was with the Expos (it was by a lot) and he even retired there in his final season.. By the time his induction came up, the Expos were a joke, who had just been sold to the league by the worst owner in sports.. Jeffrey Loria.. nobody wanted anything to do with that team and it's filthy park.
Sidenote: how the league allowed Loria back in with Florida is mindboggling.
