...when I read that Carter had left us I openly cried. I did so not because of the unfairness that he was taken at such a young age, but because of the hole he will leave in humanity.
At one point last year I was thinking of Erasmo Ramirez, he of the infectious smile and boyish mannerisms, and thought; what a glorious place this world must be for him. It's funny how when I read about Carter and learn (or, more appropriately, relearn) about who he was I almost instantly make the connection with ER. I sure hope that regardless of how his baseball career goes that he maintains that aspect of his personality.
