Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the New York Mets have announced that they will be retiring the number 15 of Carlos Beltran this season.
The news follows Beltran’s election into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year, and his plaque will have a Mets cap on it.
No date has been announced for the ceremony.
Beltran played for the Mets from 2005 to 2011, where he was a five-time All-Star, earning two Silver Sluggers and three Gold Gloves. The Centerfielder had 149 Home Runs with a .500 Slugging Percentage for the team.
Beltran joins David Wright (#5), Gil Hodges (#14), Dwight Gooden (#16), Keith Hernandez (#17), Darryl Strawberry (#18), Willie Mays (#24), Mike Piazza (#31), Jerry Koosman (#36), Casey Stengel (#37), Tom Seaver (#41) and Jackie Robinson (#42).
