Carlos Beltran was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the writers on Tuesday night after a stellar career at the plate and being directly tied to the Houston Astros’<\/a> sign-stealing scandal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the tie to the scandal from the Astros\u2019 2017 World Series season that had baseball fans scratching their heads as to why Beltran received enough votes to meet the threshold.<\/p>\n

They sounded off on social media.<\/p>\n

MLB\u2019s report<\/a>\u00a0following its investigation of the Astros found they broke rules for using electronics to steal signs on their way to winning the 2017 World Series. In the report, Beltran was specifically mentioned as someone who played a major role in it. In fact, he was the only person mentioned in the report.<\/p>\n

This came out as Beltran was about to take on his first season as a manager in MLB, something he\u2019s wanted to do since leaving the game as a player. But the Mets had to move on, eventually hiring Luis Rojas before he was replaced by\u00a0Buck Showalter<\/a>\u00a0at the beginning of last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No formal punishment was ever doled out to the players. The Astros\u2019 organization was fined $5 million and lost draft picks. Team owner Jeff Luhnow and then-manager A.J. Hinch<\/a> were suspended for the 2020 season \u2013 which later became affected by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Beltran\u2019s numbers at the plate speak for itself.<\/p>\n

He was a lifetime .279 hitter with 435 home runs who was a nine-time All-Star and the 1999 American League Rookie of the Year. He played for the Astros, Mets, Kansas City Royals, San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. His career spanned 20 years.<\/p>\n

Beltran received 84.2% of the vote \u2013 a near 14% increase from last year\u2019s round of voting. Still, no superstars who were tied to MLB\u2019s steroid scandal have been elected.<\/p>\n

He was elected along with former Atlanta Braves star Andruw Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n
