So now two one-time New York Mets will go into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer. First, the Era Committee voted in Jeff Kent. And the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) has now tapped Carlos Beltran, along with Atlanta Braves star centerfielder Andruw Jones. But while Kent will likely be wearing a San Francisco Giants cap, it looks like the New York Mets will now have their third player officially enshrined with the team cap.
