“Kid: The Gary Carter Story” (*** out of four) was an affecting documentary of catcher Gary Carter showing his beginnings on the Montreal Expos to his stardom on the 1986 Mets to his gradual physical deterioration and brain tumors that took his life but that his upbeat determination and love of the game (and his family) always prevailed. Heartfelt and harrowing at times because it constantly flashes back to his illness and death. Features many interesting interviews from 1986 Mets stars Keith Hernandez, Mookie Wilson, Tim Teufel, and Bob Ojeda.
