Happy Birthday to future Hall of Famer, Adrian Beltre, born on this day in 1979.
Beltre is one of baseball's most underrated stars. Since he started his career with the Dodgers in 1998, he has been a four time All-Star, 5 time Gold Glove Winner, 4 time Silver Slugger winner and led the National League in Home Runs and the American League in hits.
Since 2011, he has been the leader of the Rangers both on the field and in the dugout. He has 2942 career hits and 445 career home runs. He is destined for Cooperstown.
He is well deserving of our baseball birthday quote of the day,
"Adrian Beltre is the finest leader I have ever been around."
--Jeff Banister, Rangers Manager
