Next up Carlos Beltrán. This is Beltrán’s third time on the ballot. The first time, he was on 46.5% of the ballots. Last year, he was on 57.1% of the ballots. When a guy gets that much of the vote early in his years on the ballot, he usually makes it to the Hall. It will be interesting to see how long the Writers hold the grudge against him. Carlos played for 20 seasons. In 2586 games, he hit .279/.350/.486 with 435 home runs, 1587 RBI, and 312 stolen bases.
That World Series team cost him some Hall of Fame votes, as that was with the trash can-pounding, sign-stealing Astros. Beltrán was named one of the masterminds behind the plan, and his teammates claimed he ‘intimidated’ some into going along with the scheme. The scandal cost him the manager’s job with the Mets. He signed a three-year contract with the Mets, but they parted ways after the MLB report. Without the scandal, he’s an interesting candidate.
