Gary Carter
I had the pleasure of meeting Baseball Hall of Famer and 1986 Mets World Champion catcher Gary Carter in Midtown Manhattan last week. He was autographing his new book, "Still a Kid at Heart: My Life in Baseball and Beyond".
Speaking of kids, I asked him to autograph a copy of the book for my 12 year nephew Elijah. Elijah is playing Little League baseball, soccer, and other sports thank God.
Gary mentioned that many school districts across the country are cutting physical education programs. I knew this and we discussed the alarming rate of childhood obesity. I mentioned that I was watching a 220 pound 12 year old boy who was on the "20/20" program a few years ago. It is scary because of the future health ramifications.
It was great that Gary continues to inspire and hope that school districts get with the program. We should all be "kids at heart".
