Description: In 1955, Herb Score set the all-time rookie record with 245 Strike Outs.  A record that stood  for nearly 30 Years.  Herb Score was named the American League Rookie of the Year that season.  It looked as if the hard throwing, left hander was headed for a hall of fame career.  That all changed however, on May 7, 1957.

Gary Carter was one of the best to ever don a catcher's mask. Beloved by teammates and fans alike, he was one of a kind. Gary's love for the game was unparalleled. When he crouched behind plate, it wasn't just Home- it was home.
