Carlos Beltrán

Carlos Iván Beltrán (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkarloz βelˈtɾan]; born April 24, 1977) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball outfielder and designated hitter for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has also played in MLB for the Kansas City Royals, Houston Astros, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, and St. Louis Cardinals.

Beltrán was the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year in 1999 while with the Royals. He has been named to eight MLB All-Star Games, and has won three Gold Glove Awards and two Silver Slugger Awards. Beltrán is a member of the 30–30 club, as he has hit 30 home runs and stolen 30 bases in the same season.

Beltrán is among the best all-time statistical hitters in postseason games, which has earned him nicknames such as "the new Mr. October", "Mr. October, Jr.", "Señor Octubre" and "the real Mr. October" from the media. He leads several offensive categories during the postseason, including slugging percentage, runs scored in a single postseason, and at bats per home run-ratio. Beltrán is MLB's all-time leader in on-base plus slugging (OPS) during the postseason, surpassing Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig among players with at least a hundred at-bats. He has broken the 1.000 OPS mark in four different playoff series. Beltrán also has a 100% stolen base percentage (11/11) during the playoffs, which are the most stolen bases without being caught.

Carlos Beltrán (musician)

Carlos Beltrán Martínez de Castro (born 1956) is a Mexican multi-keyboard player.

He undertook classical training since his childhood days, and this formative years would influence his later composing outcome. In the early 1970s he was attracted to the sound of progressive rock of bands like Renaissance and Focus, but also to the so-called soft rock produced by performers like America and James Taylor. In 1987 Carlos released his only album to date, "Jericho", where he played all instruments, basically keyboards and percussion, whose sound was reminiscent of Klaus Schulze. The album didn't stir any grounds in his native country, but it was critically acclaimed, first in Japan, and then in other progressive quarters of Europe. Growing ever dissatisfied with the rock scene in Mexico, he opted to retire, but not before he distributed a home-made tape simply called "Familia Carbajal", where his expanding abilities as composer were evidenced. In 1997 "Jericho" appeared in CD format, making it accessible for a new generation of listeners from around the world.
