ESPN New York has reported that the greatest catcher in the history of MLB in Canada, former Montreal Expo Gary "The Kid" Carter, was diagnosed today with four small brain tumors.
A statistician would probably be able to prove otherwise, but it seems to me as though there are proportionally more brain tumors in baseball than in general society -- Tom Cheek, Kansas City manager Dick Howser, Dan Quisenberry, Josh Gibson in 1943, now Gary Carter. There are probably more. Maybe it just seems like a high number, but it's odd.
Here's hoping they caught Carter's in time.
