Gary Carter

Former New York Mets catcher Gary Carter, former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer, former U.S. Secretary of State Al Haig, Gov. Charlie Crist and his wife-to-be, Carole Rome, are among the VIPs expected at Saturday’s ADT Championship black-tie gala at Mar-a-Lago.

The Championship pits the best professional women golfers for a $1 million purse this week at Trump International in West Palm Beach. And several of the ladies are expected to show up at the fiesta - a fund-raiser for the West Palm-based Institute for Mobility and Longevity.

In the silent auction: A share in a $200,000-thoroughbred owned by breeder Gale Brophy, who happens to be the wingding’s chairwoman.
