Carlos Beltran returns to Citi Field tonight for the first time since the Mets traded him last July. Here’s what I wrote about the man then.

Now, Beltran’s leading the National League in home runs. He has a .988 OPS, which would make for the best season of his career. And anyone chalking up any of this to the change of scenery obviously was not watching the Mets from April to July last year.

Carlos Beltran is awesome. That you probably know. More, inevitably, to follow.
