Carlos Beltrán
Carlos Iván Beltrán (born April 24, 1977) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball.
Beltrán is known for being one of the best all-time statistical hitters in Major League Baseball 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 this month, including slugging percentage, runs scored in a single season and at bats per home run-ratio. Beltrán is MLB's all-time leader in OPS (on-base plus slugging) during the postseason, surpassing Babe Ruth and Lou Gherig 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 this phase of the tournament, which are the most stolen bases without being caught.

“Their time past, pulled down
cracked and flung to the fire
Mgo up in a roar
All recognition lost, burnt clean
clean in the flame, the green
