He was and still is the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGreatest catcher to ever play for a Canadian baseball team. The Kid was such a great role model, on and off the field. We were lucky enough to see him play on CBC all those years he played in Montreal. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHe had such unique style, that I and many other kids would try and emulate behind the plate. Remembering watching the Expos on TV with Dave Van Horne and Duke Snider on a warm summer Wednesday evening in the 70's with my family is up there among the fondest boyhood memories I have. My Mom loved Gary Carter too, and we bonded over that. I became emotional creating this painting, realizing that like my Mom, this boyhood idol of mine also left us way too young at just 57 years, which was my age while I was painting it. Let me just say this, there are not too many athletes that can make a grown man cry when they pass, but in 2012 Carter's passing did, and he did it again last year when I painted this. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lindsay Walker Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44993930264765,"sku":"","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7957\/files\/Kida.jpg?v=1745588187","url":"https:\/\/lindsaywalkerart.myshopify.com\/products\/lenfant","provider":"Lindsay Walker Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
