Gary Carter is coming home to Montreal in the form of a street renamed for him. The former Faillon Street, now Rue Gary-Carter runs across from Montreal’s Jarry Park where the Kid got his start with the Expos.
"I don't want to go to all the trouble of changing my address … it's very complicated," says Sophie Picard, who lives on the stretch of Faillon Street that will soon be renamed.
Not everyone was as concerned with the complications.
An even larger celebration is planned for June 15 when Ahuntsic baseball park in the city's north end will be named for Carter, who died last year of brain cancer at 57.
NY Mets bullpen catcher Eric Langill apparently drove his car into a fountain last night in what was not a planned stunt:
Langill, 32, was driving a white Honda Accord Sunday night in Port Saint Lucie when he apparently took a hard right at an intersection ahead of the traffic circle, causing him to drive over a curb and a sidewalk, hit a sign and eventually a concrete fountain, where the car flipped over, according to a police report.
The police report said Langill said he was heading home from a bowling alley and was cut off by another car.
"Langill attempted to leave the scene on foot and was stopped by the witnesses," according to the reports.
