Admittedly still riding the high of my Houston Astros winning this cities first ever World Series!

The question at hand, with Beltran retiring now having won a ring with the Stros, who's hat will he wear in the Hall of Fame? Played for Seven teams as I understand and the Stros twice.

What or who decides his immortality cap selection? I cant recall.

That's my understanding too.
The player decides.

He should pick Astros Smile and Astros should retain him as a coach...

Whoever's willing to send him the biggest check. My bet...the Yankees.

Since 2002 the Hall of Fame staff evaluates the player's career and makes a rough decision and then consults with the player and explains the reasoning. Push comes to shove and the Hall makes the call.

In all the hoopla over Pudge Rodriguez this summer with the Rangers, I sure had the impression that that is what he wanted, and maybe it was, to go in as a Ranger, and it was his to pick.

Maybe a happy coincidence that the HOF saw it his way.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

He should go in (I can't believe I even wrote that) as a Met!
They can make a nice statue of him. Then people will look at it and say "Oh game 7, 2006!" Big Grin

I’d guess he’d go in as a met. I’d like to see him as a royal, but probably won’t happen.

I would say the same one that he won the ring with.
