RIP - Rico Carty

For the kids of the 60's and 70's

Good ballplayer

Indeed he was. The 64 ROY race was Allen, Carty, and Jim Ray Hart. Not to mention Oliva on the other side. Carty was the first player to record a hit when the Braves moved to ATL.

Jim Ray Hart would have had a HOF career with the DH.

Four great players! Richie Allen and Jim Bunning were my first heroes.
