Since they moved and became the Washington Nationals, they “unretired” his number. So much for honoring their own history.

Carter was one hell of a guy…never heard anyone say one negative thing about him.

And lay off the negativity and snarkiness for one goddamned thread. This is about honoring someone with a family who just passed away WAY too young.

But let’s give them credit when they do something classy, as they clearly have done here.

Look, if you’re going to be inappropriate, at least try to be clever or ironic. You sound like you just crawled out from under your distant uncle’s trailer.

(I mean if they still existed) He is an Expo for life.

Especially considering they had to take out another loan to buy the patches.
