Adrian Beltre announced today that he is retiring from the sport of baseball. It’s unfair then that ultimately this being of resplendent mirth was forced to reside in a mortal body that aged.
Considering what Adrian Beltre has meant to the Texas Rangers, to baseball, and, frankly, to me as a fan of this sport, if there were any one thing that should have lasted forever it is Adrian Beltre’s wedded bliss to baseball.
But what a selfish thought, right? There is good news in today’s announcement. Adrian Beltre might not get to suit up to play the sport he loves anymore but that means he gets to be with his family full time.
