Former Mets outfielder Chuck Carr, who played in New York in 1990 and 1991, died recently at 55. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Carr was battling health issues, according to family social media posts.
Carr spent eight seasons in the majors and led the National League with 58 stolen bases for the expansion Florida Marlins in 1993, after just a combined 16 games with the Mets in the two seasons prior. The speedster stole 32 bases in the strike-shortened 1994 season.

Carr during spring training with the Montreal Expos in 1998. While with the Brewers in 1997, he supplied one of the most memorable sports quotes of the decade when he ignored a take sign to swing on a 2-0 pitch and made an out. After the game Carr said, “That ain’t Chuckie’s game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0.”
He was sent to the minors, refused his assignment and was cut by the team. Carr was picked up by the Astros and homered off John Smoltz in Game 3 of the 1997 NLDS.
After his MLB career, Carr briefly played for the Long Island Ducks and manager Bud Harrelson, who had been his skipper with the Mets.
