ARLINGTON -- This one was clearly difficult for Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre.
The Rangers honored Beltre before Friday's game against the Yankees for getting his 3,000th hit July 30. The ceremony was well-done and Beltre was deserving, but it was hard because he remains on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring.
"It's bittersweet where I am," Beltre said. "I'm humbled and grateful for what they are doing. It would be nice to do it and then come back to the field and help these guys."
"I never expected to be here; to be hitting 3,000 hits.
