Adrian Beltre was a popular figure Tuesday afternoon in the Texas Rangers' clubhouse.
The locals wanted to get their hands on him.
The third baseman, who was signed and developed by the Los Angeles Dodgers, was back in Dodger Stadium for the first time since 2009. He was on the disabled list when the Rangers came here in 2015.
Beltre obliged, though eventually it seemed to be cutting into his routine. Somehow, he made it onto the field in time for first pitch, and the crowd gave him a nice cheer when his name was announced.
