Carlos Beltran will officially represent the Mets in Cooperstown.
The Baseball Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that Beltran’s plaque will feature him wearing a Mets hat when he’s enshrined this summer.
“I didn’t do this alone,” Beltran said in a release. “Every team I played for shaped my journey, and I’m grateful to all of them. With the Mets, I experienced my greatest individual growth and success. I’m honored that my Hall of Fame plaque will feature the Mets logo, and I’m proud that every team I played for will be listed on the plaque.”
Beltran signed a seven-year, $119 million free-agent contract with the Mets ahead of the 2005 season and played six-plus years in Flushing.
In 839 regular-season games with the Mets, Beltran hit .280 with an .869 OPS, 149 home runs, 559 RBIs, 100 steals, 208 doubles and 551 runs scores.
Beltran began his career with a six-plus-year run with the Royals and also had stints with the Astros, Giants, Cardinals, Yankees and Rangers.
He and Andruw Jones, whose cap will have a Braves logo, comprise the 2026 Hall of Fame class.
