- On Sunday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame officially enshrined Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, and Jeff Kent at Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, New York, before an estimated crowd of 12,000.
- The trio earned their spots through distinguished careers: Jones accumulated 434 home runs and 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards, while Beltrán's growth with the Mets shaped his life, and Kent played the game the "right way."
- Reflecting on their journeys, Kent called his speech a "eulogy" to his baseball career, while Beltrán emphasized relationships, stating, "Those things will last longer than any statistic ever will."
- Beltrán honored his Puerto Rican roots by quoting Bad Bunny's "La Mudanza" to address his parents in Spanish, while Jones delivered a heartfelt message to Chipper Jones, noting the "Jones Boys" are now together.
- Kent described the honor as overwhelming, remarking, "This day isn't about me, though. The celebration of baseball, and I just happen to be a part of it," capturing the ceremony's broader significance.
