Beltran makes his case for the Hall

Last Thursday, Carlos Beltran stepped to the plate against the Colorado Rockies. The Yankees trailed 8-4 with two men aboard, and appeared ready to be swept by the Rockies in the brief two-game series. One swing of the bat later, Beltran had cut the lead to 8-7 with a 3-run home run into Yankee Stadium’s right field seats. The Yankees would go on to a 9-8 victory. Last Saturday, the Yankees trailed the Twins 2-0 when Beltran came to bat in the 3rd inning. He delivered again, this time with an RBI double. The Yankees went on to a 5-3 win and would take two of three games in the weekend series.
