LITTLE FALLS, N.J. -- Hall of Famer Gary Carter, diagnosed in May with a malignant brain tumor, will be honored by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America at its annual dinner on Jan. 21.
Carter, who helped the New York Mets win the World Series in 1986, was voted the Milton and Arthur Richman You Gotta Have Heart award at the chapter's annual meeting Monday.
The 1962 expansion Mets, who set a major league record with 120 losses, will receive the Willie, Mickey & The Duke award, and Tommy Davis will get the Casey Stengel You Could Look It Up award on the 50th anniversary of his NL batting title.
