How Carlos Beltran Made $100 Million in One Playoff Run 

And his performance earned him a very nasty card in MLB the Show 17

Not signing Beltran after 2004 haunts me to this day. Probably win the WS in 05 if Beltran can replicate the same production

A couple interesting what ifs to consider is that the Yankees and Red Sox both made offers to trade for Beltran. The Red Sox offered Kevin Youkilis and Kelly Shoppach, while the Yankees dangled Robinson Cano in front of KC.

2:37 never thought I’d hear Dave O’Brien call a home run over a Brockhampton beat Oh my God he did it AGAIN

The 2004 LCS (both league) was wild & one of the best series ever

Lets not forget, the Mets traded Beltran to the Giants for Zack Wheeler...so definitely got value from him even after he was off the team

I’ve always thought Mike Cameron & Carlos Beltran are among the best non hall of famers center fielders ever. They likely will never be hall of fame players but were great and dependable players in their prime.

Beltran's run in '04 was nuts. He became a Cardinal killer in part due to that postseason. It was fun to see him as a Redbird in 2012 and 13. A real shame that he was a big part of the 'Stros cheating scandal though.

That first year in NY was a nightmare. But he was a superb CF regardless. The amount of ground he would cover... oh man.

I used to tell people he was a distant cousin, no matter we're from different parts of the Americas; I'm Native American from Oregon and he's Puerto Rican. Nobody bought it, but it was fun still following the career of someone similar in namesake. Done pretty good for himself, wish he would have come up bigger or made different choices in certain moments but oh well, hindsight is 20/20. Congrats cousin on a storied career. Also at the beginning of the vid when you showed the voting results for BBWAA ballot I felt he should have, or could have gotten a few more votes if not for some shenanigans in Houston possibly influencing decisions made. The one name on that list that stood out that got snubbed was Todd Helton. He played pretty solid on the road with a highly consistent glove, so eventually that Coors Field effect bullshit will have to be put to rest. Regardless, The Toddfather, is a legend.

I wore #15 for one baseball season growing up just bc of how good Beltran was at that time

I always liked him. I wish he had won a ring with the Giants.

Mad respect for the BH beats. Caught me off guard in a pleasant way lol

This guy had great longevity too bad he couldnt stretch his playing career into the 2020s and be a 4 decade guy

OMG I totally forgot about that. Beltran had his Carlos Boozer moment 😂 19:41

I remember watching that playoff run as a young Astros fan. I was in 5th grade and was devastated when STL beat us and Beltran signed with the Mets.

earliest I've been to a video

The only better postseason that I have ever seen besides Beltran’s 2004 was Lenny Dykstra. Can you do a video on Lenny Dykstra’s 1993 postseason? He also was a free agent and cashed in off of his postseason run. Back then there were only 2 playoff rounds so Dykstra made it to the World Series.

I was a teenager during his Astros day (I’m a Houstonian) I was so disappointed when he left

Hall of famer in my book.

CB had a great 2004 postseason but he also laid an egg in the playoffs for the Mets. The reason I would keep him out of the Hall is that he was the ringleader of the 2017 trash-can banging incident. If baseball fans are still going to be butthurt of that incident, shouldn't they take it out on the guy who led the club into it? Somehow, the East Coast media loves to absolve Beltran yet blame other Astros who had little or nothing to do with the cheating. It was Carlos who hatched the scheme to begin with.

Was one of my favorites on MVP baseball 04 n 05, was cheap and damn good!

You’re gonna have to do another video on Evan Carter’s postseason soon.

Beltran’s low HOF voting has nothing to do with his play and everything to do with his role in the Astros scandal

most underrated sports channel

It’s pathetic that the record for most hrs in a postseason was tarnished by the joke Mickey Mouse 2020 season.

Those Astro uniforms were generic looking as heck back then. I remember wishing they would go back to the 80s orange but never in a millennium did I ever think they actually would. Let alone expand on that theme.

Walking Beltran wasn’t cowardly it was a smart decision not pitching to him it would have been a dumbass decision pitch to a guy as hot as he was sometimes being smart and swallowing your pride is the right decision

sick video

The Dune Soundtrack in the background is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I would vote for him. He deserves it.

One of my favorite Players I’ve seen play

I remember playing him as a cardinals fan and he would just kill the ball every time

Top 10 CF 1. Willie Mays 2. Ty Cobb 3. Tris Speaker 4. Mickey Mantle 5. Ken Griffey Jr. 6. Joe DiMaggio 7. Mike Trout 8. Billy Hamilton 9. CARLOS BELTRAN 10. Duke Snider

5:17 Cut to a whole generation of Astros fans who tremble in fear at the mention of Jim Edmunds

It’s a shame he’ll only be known for possibly the biggest “what if” in Mets history..

2.3 OPS lol, dude was averaging a double per at bat

My man put up Baseball9 numbers

MLB power pros! 😁

MLB power pros season mode music let’s go

brockhampton already?! WHO YOU KEEP AROUND NOW THATS A BIG REFLECTION and Joey trap wtf holy shit

Wish there were sports betting apps back then would have bet on him to get a hit and a homer each and every at bat 🤣

He'll make it into the HoF within the next couple years. If he doesn't I'd be very surprised because he absolutely deserves it.

he knows how to play baseball and how to cheat at baseball

As a Braves fan he made me a hater for life 😂 he owned us from my recollection

The a big reason for his lack of hof votes was that he was the architect on the Astros sign stealing scandal.

Greatest hitter in Mets history who will be know as a met

Wasn’t expecting to hear brockhampton in the vid

He’ll get in. Nearly 50% on his first ballot plus he didn’t have much of an impact with the 2017 Astros since he was done by that point.

Jose Altuve in 2017.

One thing that is important is those voting numbers are in light of 2017 which for him getting close to 50% that is a good thing as if it grows for next year then he will get into the HOF and it will probably determine how some other players will go years down the line.

brockhampton jumpscare 2:38

Shoutout to rbt lol

The home run montage needledrops are so very cheesy

Not gonna show his last AB of 2004? 😣

The so called sign stealing scandal is overrated, much ado about (almost) nothing, the Home Run Derby competitors know exactly what's coming and they don't hit every pitch square. My fellow countryman Carlos Beltrán deserves that plaque in Cooperstown.⚾ 🇵🇷.

corey seager in 2020?

real

I wonder how much of his career had sign stealing in it.

Ayyyy @JoeyTrap @ 4:20 !!

Ugh every time that pink filter during highlights shows up, my eyes disintegrate. Pls I'm begging you to stop; otherwise great vid as usual

visual effects were annoying

Dude, what is up with your cadence? Its not selling me on Beltran

WHY would you even pitch to this guy anymore???

Nope, he came up with the trashcan thing, not a HOFer to me.

3rd.

His role with the Astros make me question his entire career sorry.

Damn these edits were cringe

he's definitely not a first ballot HOFer, never led the league in anything ever besides his post season exploits, only ever finished in the top 10 for MVP voting once, but he was just really good for a really long time, similar to HOFer Craig Biggio whose WAR is 5 points lower than Carlos'.

Don't care, put up a video of how Beltran couldn't lift the bat off of his shoulder for a curveball right down the middle of the plate that ended the Mets playoffs.

All of this would be very impressive if he wasn't on the Astros, with their garbage can assisted wins.

Bonds was cheating don’t count

He was good until he joined the astros and became a cheater

BASEBALL PUTS A STEROID PLAYER IN THE HALL OF FAME BUT NOT CARLOS BELTRAN NO WONDER BASEBALL GOING DOWN FASTER THAN THE TITANIC.

By being an unrepentant cheater?

Speaking as a Yankee fan, Beltran will never get my vote for the hall. Why? Well it’s because of his tenure as a “special advisor” for my team after he retired as a player. I don’t really care that he cheated, I’m actually impressed with his efforts. What is that when he was an employee for the Yankees, he by all accounts did Jack shit, never telling the team of what he did and HOW my team could use his methods. In fact, some Yankee employees were suspicious of the amount of time Beltran spent with Alex Cora whenever the red Sox’s and Yankees met. He choose not to help the team who HIRED him, he choose to let the Astros keep that advantage. That to me breaks his integrity.

Cheaters shouldn’t make the HOF.

He didnt make the HOF because hes a bleeping cheater

He’s a cheater

Barry hit those 8 hrs in 45 at bats. Beltron 46.

The a big reason for his lack of hof votes was that he was the architect on the Astros sign stealing scandal.
