Major League Baseball's 400 home run club gained a new member on Friday night. Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre became only the 52nd player to achieve that lofty milestone with a first-inning home run off Cleveland Indians left-hander Bruce Chen.
The home run was the second of back-to-back shots. The first came from Prince Fielder, who himself is nearing 300 career homers. It helped the Ranges establish an early lead, which they were unable to hold in losing to Cleveland 8-3.
The fan who was able to wrestle the souvenir away on the berm in center field later returned it to Beltre.
