#1 We should start using Carter's Secret Service detail to put assassins in place. Imagine -- Castro, Little Kimmy, Chirac -- all of them have been up-close and personal with Carter!

#3 Whew! For a moment there, I was afraid you meant Gary Carter.

I've got a couple of his autographs from when I was a kid. I remember him consistently staying on the field longer than any other player, pre-game, to sign autographs, chat with reporters, and answer little kids' questions about how to be a good catcher. I would have hated to hear that he was chummy with Castro, who, despite all the reasons to dislike the guy, sure seems to appreciate good baseball.

#4 Fidel went bad... he should have worked on his swing.

#5 Sounds like Jimmah made Secret Service guy fork over the ball to be used as a fund raiser for his noble cause/causes? Why doesn't that surprise me?
He should've took it over to North Korea with him and got Kimmie to sign it too.

"Oh look, Huk! Mister Carter brought something for the stew."
