After seven years with Kansas City and an especially memorable 2004 season and postseason with Houston, Carlos Beltran joined the New York Mets for the start of the 2005 season. Beltran's steady bat and smooth glove in the outfield helped energize the team, which in 2005 finished above .500 for the first time in recent memory and in 2006 won the NL East crown. Carlos Beltran has hand signed this official MLB baseball, which comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity
