[edit] Expo

Carter is only in the Hall as an Expo because the HOF knew the Expos were either being contracted or moving and wanted someone in the Hall with an Expos cap. Carter himself wanted a Mets cap and is more well known as a World Series hero with the Mets. Carter has the exact same profile as Reggie Jackson, who played more years in Oakland and put up better numbers in Oakland but was a World Series hero in NY (except Reggie won more titles in Oakland than NY). 68.173.209.19 13:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

This is may be the ONLY reason he is in the Hall - his numbers don't seem to justify his inclusion - but I couldn't find any reliable sources with which to document that. Bonehed (talk) 09:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
