Beltran, the same guy who's regularly boo'ed at Shea?

I actually viewed him more as a Dodger for the same reason.
It wasn't till that Padres/Mets series in 2006 that I realize how popular he was amongst Mets fans.
The only time I've ever seen walk up music played for an opposing batter.

Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
this is true. But Kaz Matsui? Reyes and Wright were in their first and 2nd full years in 2005 (Piazza's final year). Come on. Piazza was the Mets. If he doesn't go in as a Met, no one will
Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
Thats exactly what I'm trying to say, they never did materialize long enough to be the face either, just long enough to cover Piazza's.

Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
They covered him for one year? Ok. What about the other 8 seasons he played in NY?
