MONTREAL -- A stretch of road in front of the stadium where he began his Hall of Fame career has been renamed in honour of former Montreal Expos catcher Gary Carter. Signs indicating Rue Gary-Carter were already in place on Tuesday as municipal officials announced the renaming of Faillon Street West after the most popular player in the history of the defunct National League baseball club. "It was here at Jarry Park that the player affectionately known as Kid began his major league career," said Laurent Blanchard, chairman of the citys executive committee, told a small gathering of officials and fans, some wearing caps and shorts with the Expos red, white and blue logo. "He was an idol who touched the heart of Montrealers and inspired many young athletes." A larger celebration is planned for June 15 when Ahuntsic baseball park in the citys north end will be named for Carter, who died on Feb. 16, 2012 of brain cancer at 57. Carters wife, Sandy, and other family members were not able to attend the street renaming because they only learned of it this week, but they are expected to be at the ball park ceremony. The western section of Faillon street runs in front of the stadium the Expos called home for the first eight years of their existence from 1969 to 1976, before moving to the domed Olympic Stadium. Jarry Park stadium has since been converted into Uniprix Stadium, a tennis facility that forms part of the Jarry national tennis training centre. Carter made his Expos debut there in September, 1974. He grew into perhaps the best catcher of his generation. The 11-time all-star played in Montreal until 1984, then played for the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers before returning to Montreal to end his playing career in 1992. He was always a fan favourite for his easy smile, outgoing personality and the effort he put into learning some French. The eastern part of the street will retain the name Faillon.Air Force 1 Just Do It Norge .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win.

Athletic director Dave Brandon told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Beilein has signed a three-year extension that replaces his previous contract and keeps him with the Wolverines through the 2018-19 season. The 60-year-old Beilein will make $2.45 million a year in total compensation. Michigan hired Beilein in March 2007, a week after he led West Virginia to the NIT championship. Last year, the Wolverines tied a school record with 31 wins and lost in the NCAA championship game to Louisville. Beileins previous contract extension -- his second with the school -- was agreed to during the 2010-11 season and kept him under contract through 2015-16. He signed that deal a season after taking Michigan to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998. Now, Beilein is getting another contract after leading the Wolverines to their first national championship game appearance in two decades.dddddddddddd. Everywhere Beilein has been, from little schools to one of the biggest, he has won. The native of Burt, N.Y., has a career record of 673-403. His first job was at Erie (N.Y.) Community College during the 1978-82 season and he went on to coach at Nazareth, LeMoyne, Canisius, Richmond and West Virginia. With his first contract at Michigan, Beilein became the schools highest-paid basketball coach ever with a six-year deal that was worth $1.3 million a season plus bonuses. "If you look at my paycheque, there ought to be pressure," Beilein said at his first news conference in Ann Arbor. Former athletic director Bill Martin, who hired Beilein to replace Tommy Amaker, said back then that negotiations with Beilein took 10 seconds in part because Beilein said his $2.5 million buyout at West Virginia was his responsibility.
