I can think of no other player since the late great Kirby Puckett, that I have loved, admired, and enjoyed watching more than Adrian Beltre. By far one of the most honorable and respected Rangers in history.
Today he goes into the books a Texas Legend and a Hero of Baseball lore as he becomes only the 31st player to get 3,000-hits. The monumental feat makes him the 3rd 3rd baseman to ever rack up as many hits. Beltre belted a double to left field off Wade Miley in the bottom of the 4th inning of a 10 - 5 loss to the Orioles on July 30th 2017 at Globe Life Park to a packed house. He was honored by his team and family as they all joined him on the field to celebrate a life long achievement.
I have gathered a collection of articles and quotes to remember and mark this historic day. Congrats Beltre!
