Even as he battles an aggressive form of brain cancer, Hall of Famer Gary Carter wouldn't miss opening day for the college baseball team he manages.
Carter shook hands with each of the Palm Beach Atlantic University team's players and watched about three innings of the game Thursday night. The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/A9Q0qN ) reports crowd gave him a standing ovation,.
Carter's daughter Kimmy Bloemers says despite his illness her father wanted to be there for his players. They responded with a 3-2 victory over Lynn University.
The 57-year-old Carter was joined at the game by fellow ex-major leaguers Tommy Hutton and Jeff Reardon.
Carter was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2003. He played 19 seasons mainly with the Montreal Expos and New York Mets.
