NEW YORK -- A perplexing though popped into my head as I heard Carlos Beltran booed at-bat after at-bat over these first two games of the Subway Series: Why?
Why do Mets fans dislike Beltran so much? He was, by all objective accounts, a very good player for them. After signing $119 million deal, he lived up to it. Five All-Star appearances, three Gold Gloves, a fourth-place MVP finish. What else could you want?
Beltran certainly has no hard feelings. "It was great," he says of his time in Queens.
