Recently retired slugger Carlos Beltran went out on top. As a member of the Houston Astros during his final season of 2017, he and the club won their first World Series title. With 435 career home runs and 2,725 career hits, odds are that Beltran will be enshrined in Cooperstown when he becomes eligible in 2023.
