You had to live that run that he had and that team had in person to understand. He was so dominant, I've never seen a position player put a team on his back like that for a stretch and playoff run before or since. And Houston fans hate the taking more money in New York type thing so it hit home. We probably took it too seriously but whatever, I still hear fans speculate what if he had resigned.

It was certainly a bit silly but You had websites donating money to the cause. Honestly we should have been more upset with administration

Not resigning Jeff Kent may have hurt us worse the next year.

Yeah I can't remember what ended up being the difference with Beltran, I want to say it was maybe like two mil a year and a no trade clause. I mean come on, that team's window was closing fast. They had to resign one of Kent or Beltran to have a legit shot in 05 honestly. I second what prom said about how I can't believe they won the pennant.
