Fuck him.
Tyrone Taylor is so good their retiring his number while still active, wow
#ForeverGiant Carlos Beltran
Excuse me, he’s a GIANTS Hall of Famer, duh. Mets can have Jeff Kent I guess.
Cheaters are now HOF eligible. David Ortiz and now Beltran
so dumb to retire his number.
he had an overall HOF career, but didnt do enough with the mets to deserve this honor.
LAME!!!
Regardless of how you feel about him as a former Met, never forget he was the mastermind of the biggest cheating scandal in baseball history, and is a piece of shit who does not deserve to be in the HOF or have his jersey retired.
(Cohen is ok to honor this guy but won’t give Lindor the respect he deserves as the captain of this team or fight to keep Pete who is the heart and soul of the last decade? Fuck all this)
Allegedly, Unproven Cheating: No Hall of Fame
Proven, Confessed Cheating: Hall of Fame
Make it make sense
The “Beltrán doesn’t deserve his number retired” takes are kinda wild to me.
If you look at it objectively, he’s one of the best players to ever wear a Mets uniform. Not “pretty good”legitimately elite. He’s top 5 in franchise WAR and top 10 in basically every major offensive category, while also playing Gold Glove caliber centerfield.
I get the arguments against it, he wasn’t here as long as guys like Wright, and yeah, everyone remembers the strikeout in 2006. But reducing his entire Mets career to one at-bat against Adam Wainwright (on a perfect pitch) ignores that he was the biggest reason they were even in Game 7 to begin with.
And if the standard is “only lifelong Mets get their number retired,” then you’re basically saying peak greatness doesn’t matter, which doesn’t make much sense when you’re talking about honoring the best players in franchise history.
Carlos Beltrán wasn’t just good for the Mets, he was one of the most complete players they’ve ever had. Power, speed, defense, postseason presence (outside of one moment people won’t let go of). That résumé stacks up with just about anyone not named Tom Seaver or David Wright.
You don’t have to think he’s inner-circle Mets royalty, but acting like he’s not worthy of being honored at that level feels more emotional than factual.
Bang bang trash cans
When I think of the Mets I definitely think of Carlos Beltran /s
Trying to catch the Yankees for retiring numbers for no good reason (Mays??, Beltran?? – lol)
It *is* kinda funny to fire a manager in disgrace before he ever takes the field and then retire his number 6 years later like nothing happened.
Hmm
