Carter to Manage Flyers
12/5/2007
Nashville, TN (December 5, 2007) - The Orange County Flyers announced today at the Baseball Winter Meetings that their new manager will be Fullerton, California native Gary Carter. Carter, who attended Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, is an 11-time Major League All-Star who won 5 Silver Slugger and 3 Gold Glove awards during his Hall of Fame career.
Carter had played a majority of his years with the Montreal Expos and NY Mets. He had short one year stints with the San Fransisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003 along with slugger Eddie Murray (they were team mates on the LA Dodgers 1991 team).
Carter, also known by the popular nickname 'Kid,' is excited to be coming home and for the opportunity to bring a Golden Baseball League Championship to Fullerton.
"I'm excited to be coming home," said Carter, "and hope to bring the city of Fullerton a Golden Baseball League Championship!"
The Orange County Flyers, formerly The Fullerton Flyers was purchased from the Golden Baseball League in March 2007 by a local investment group lead by team President/GM Alan Mintz and Desperate Housewives Star James Denton. "We are not only excited about what Carter will bring to the field but also to the community," said Mintz.
As their first order of business, Carter and the Flyers will host an open tryout on January 26th and January 27th. Registration begins on December 26th on the team website and anticipates the 200 openings to fill up quickly.
--- Keep Franchise!!
