Former Mets catcher Gary Carter has been diagnosed with four small brain tumors. "Earlier today, I learned that four very small tumors have been found on my brain, following an MRI on Friday at a West Palm Beach facility," Carter said in a statement. "I am scheduled to be examined further Thursday at Duke Medical Center, and we will learn more at that time about my diagnosis. "My wife, Sandy, and our children and family thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We ask that you please respect our privacy as we learn more about my medical condition." According to The New York Daily News, a source close to Carter, 57, said the former catcher had been complaining of headaches and forgetfulness recently. It won't be known until the surgery whether the tumors are malignant.
