      Remember there was zero humor in that man before Texas. All at his highlights, most of his goofing off, everything we love about him that was shown publicly, was done on the Texas rangers.
      In Los Angeles he was on the Roids... Got off of them when he was in Seattle and had his numbers dropped dramatically, got to Texas and became a fundamental pure hitter and awesome defender.
      He was a 260 to 270 hitter with every other team until 2010. And then all of a sudden he was hitting over 300 all the time.

    An absolute legend. His friendship with Felix Hernandez was so damn entertaining and wholesome. Beltre was such a class act to show up personally to congratulate him when he was elected into Seattle's Hall of Fame. You know Felix will return the favor when Beltre gets the call to Cooperstown.

    One of my favorite players of all time and so far the most entertaining to watch. He just loves the game and playing it. It's like watching a kid play a game that they live, except the "kid" is a full grown man with over 3100 hits and nearly 500 homers. Easy first ballot Hall of Famer and honestly should be unanimous entry first year eligible.
    It doesn't hurt that he plays my favorite position on the field and is one of the best ever there. An argument can be made that he's overall the best 3rd basemen to ever play...given how good he was on both sides.

    Damn I used to know Adrian Beltre and his family a long time ago when I was little. I had no idea he stopped playing baseball. I can’t think of his sons name right now and I’d probably have to ask my dad what it is but I have 2 very fond memories of them that I’ll think of whenever I hear his name. 1. I remember when he got our whole little league team into a baseball game with box seats and a gift basket that had a towel that I still use and a baseball that has some signatures from the Rangers. 2. I remember one time I was talking with his son after a game and we had just gotten ice cream from one of those old ice cream trucks that has cartoon characters as the different types of ice cream and he mentioned that his dad doesn’t like to get touched on the head. I may have some way I can contact them and just say hi and see what’s up. Guess that’ll be something I have to look into.

    The guy hit 48 home runs with the dodgers in '04. He then signed that big contract with Seattle the year after but he was a mediocre at best for 5 years. He basically rejuvenated his career when he signed with the Red Sox in 2010. Since then, he became one of the best all around hitters in baseball. As a Sox fan, what could've been had they resigned Beltre after his 2010 MVP caliber season. 🤔

    All of these highlights are the reason he's going to the Hall of Fame with a rangers cap on. It was only in his years with the Texas rangers that he was truly happy. He really let loose in Texas. He had his highest batting average, best defense, most All Star selections, and greatest impact on the Texas rangers.
    Plus he is one of the very few players to get better overall after he stopped taking steroids. In 2003 and 2004 with the dodgers he experimented with them. After he stopped, his home run numbers dropped, but his batting average and defense skyrocketed.

    Adrian was one of the guys who got me into the game when I was a kid. Father Time wins all battles eventually. It’s going to be hard imagining a season without the personality of Beltre being a part of it. Baseball got a little less fun with his retirement ☹️
