前 大联盟外野手Joseph Christopher Carter (出生于1960年3月7日，奥克拉荷马州的奥
克拉荷马市) 大联盟生涯自1983年到1998年。最著名的是在1993年世界大赛中挥出了再见
全垒打使勇士队获得冠军，当时蓝鸟队以5比6落后费城人队，并且只要再两个出局数，比
赛就要延续至第七战。
Career
College
Joe Carter attended Wichita State University, but left after his junior year.
Joe Carter曾经于威奇塔州立大学就读，但是在大三时休学。
Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians
Carter first reached the majors in 1983 with the Chicago Cubs, but was then
traded to the Cleveland Indians, where he blossomed into a star. Carter
emerged as a prolific power hitter, hitting as many as 35 home runs in a
season and regularly driving in 100 or more runs. He usually hit a similar
amount of doubles as he did homers, and would get respectable numbers of
triples in many years, as well. He was also a very good baserunner, stealing
20-30 bases a year with a high rate of success. However, he was not
considered a good defensive outfielder, and actually spent an entire season
dividing his time between first base and DH, without a single inning in the
outfield. The Indians publicly criticized his defense and low batting average
after he left, but he produced a great deal more than the players he was
traded for by them, and the GM who made the most overt negative comments was
fired for his own terrible performance.
Carter于1983年穿着芝加哥小熊队的球衣首度登上大联盟，但是随即被交易至克利夫兰印
第安人队，在印第安人队渐渐崭露头角。Carter是一位产量丰富的强力打者，能在一个球
季中轰出约35支全垒打与超过100分打点。Carter经常能打出和全垒打一样多的二垒安打
，并且在数个球季挥出相当数量的三垒安打。除此之外，Carter也是一名优秀的跑者，能
在一个球季中跑出20至30次盗垒成功，并拥有很高的盗垒成功率。然而他并不被认为是守
备优秀的外野手，事实上他也经常担任一垒手与指定打击。在Carter离开印第安人队后，
印第安人队公开批评他的防守与低打击率，但是他却获得了比那些拿来和他交换的球员更
佳的合约，而且那位作出最多负面批评的总经理也因为自己的糟糕表现而被炒鱿鱼。
San Diego Padres
After the 1989 season, Carter was traded to the San Diego Padres for
prospects Sandy Alomar, Jr., Carlos Baerga, and Chris James. Although he
continued to drive in runs, he continued to have defensive problems. The
Padres subsequently dealt him to the Toronto Blue Jays along with Roberto
Alomar in exchange for star players Fred McGriff and Tony Fernández.
1989年球季结束后，Carter被交易至圣地牙哥教士队以换来Sandy Alomar Jr.，Carlos
Baerga与Chris James等潜力球员。虽然Carter持续能打回分数，但是守备问题依旧存在
。后来教士队又拿Carter与Roberto Alomar与多伦多蓝鸟队交换明星球员Fred McGriff与
Tony Fernandez。
Toronto Blue Jays
Carter's overall game improved dramatically in 1991, helping the Toronto Blue
Jays win the division title and hitting the game-winning single that clinched
the AL East Championship. In 1992, he helped the Jays win their first World
Series championship, the first ever won by a Canadian-based team. Carter
himself hit two home runs and recorded the final out of the Series, taking a
throw to first base from reliever Mike Timlin to nab Otis Nixon of the
Atlanta Braves.
1991年Carter引人注目的成绩帮助多伦多蓝鸟队赢得分区冠军，并且在美联东区冠军赛中
，打出带着胜利打点的一垒安打。1992年他又帮助蓝鸟队获得首次的世界大赛冠军。这也
是大联盟史上第一度由加拿大的球队赢得世界大赛冠军。Carter个人在系列赛中挥出了两
发全垒打，并且接到后援投手 Mike Timlin传向一垒的球，刺杀了亚特兰大勇士队的
Otis Nixon，完成了最后一个出局数。(当时John Smoltz是三垒跑者)
In 1993, the Blue Jays again reached the World Series, facing the
Philadelphia Phillies.
1993年，蓝鸟队再度打进世界大赛，对手是费城费城人队。
1993 World Series
In Game 6, with the Blue Jays leading three games to two, Carter came to bat
in the bottom of the ninth inning with the Blue Jays trailing 6-5 and Rickey
Henderson and Paul Molitor on base. On a 2-2 count, Carter hit a three-run
home run off Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams (a hurler against whom he was
0-4 career) to win the World Series, only the second time a Series has ended
with a home run (the other being in 1960, when Bill Mazeroski did it), and
the only time the home run has been hit by a player whose team was losing.
Upon hitting the home run, Carter went into a hysteria, jumping up and down
many times most notably rounding first base, where his helmet came off from
the dancing. Tom Cheek, broadcaster for the Blue Jays at the time, then went
on to say "Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your
life!"
第六 场比赛，当时蓝鸟队在系列赛中已取得3胜2败的优势。九局下半，两人出局，蓝鸟
队以5:6落后，Rickey Henderson与Paul Molitor在垒上，Carter上场打击。2好2坏的球
数，Carter从费城人投手Mitch Williams(生涯对战4之0)手中敲出了一发三分全垒打，帮
助蓝鸟队赢得世界大赛冠军。这是第二度系列赛是由全垒打所结束的，更是唯一一次由落
后方球队的球员敲出全垒打。击出全垒打之后，Carter情绪激动，绕着一垒不停的跳着，
头盔也因此掉了。当时蓝鸟队的播报员Tom Cheek说到"太令人感动了，Joe!这大概是你生
涯最伟大的一支全垒打了!"
1994-1997
Carter continued to play for the Blue Jays until 1997, and led the Blue Jays
in home runs and RBIs in 1994 and 1995. However, the Blue Jays went from
first to worst in 1995, and never posted a winning season in the 1994-1997
stretch.
Carter继续为蓝鸟队效力至1997，其中1994与1995年的全垒打数与打点都是蓝鸟队最多。
但是1995年蓝鸟队的战绩却从第一名跌至谷底，1994年至1997年连续四个球季胜率未过半
。
Baltimore Orioles and San Francisco Giants
He was released and in 1998 played briefly for the Baltimore Orioles and San
Francisco Giants before retiring.
Carter被蓝鸟队释出后，在1998年曾短暂的打过巴尔迪摩金莺队与旧金山巨人队。
Career statistics
Carter was named to five All-Star teams. In his career he hit 396 home runs
and drove in 1,445 RBI. He drove in 100 runs in a season ten times, including
the 1994 year, which was cut short due to the strike that happened about 110
games into the year.
Carter曾五度入选明星赛。生涯拥有396支全垒打与1445分打点，并且有10个球季打点超
过100，其中还包含了因罢工缩短为110场左右的1994年球季。
One of Carter's most interesting records is that he was the first (only?)
player to record 100 RBIs for three different teams in three consecutive
seasons. However, in recent years Carter has become perhaps the ultimate
poster child for the fallacy of using RBI to rate players. Carter may have
tallied almost 1,500 career RBI, but he did it while batting 3rd or cleanup
behind players who got on base often
