Carlos Beltran showed up for a cup of coffee with the Wichita Wranglers in 1998, when the Wranglers were the Double-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals.
He batted .352 with 14 homers and 44 RBI in 47 incredible games that summer and was soon to be off and running on a big league career that could land him on the doorstep of Cooperstown.
Or will it?
Beltran, 38, is having a resurgent second half of the 2015 season with the New York Yankees, his sixth MLB team. He was traded by the Royals in 2004, one of those trades nobody likes to acknowledge.
