Third-base legend ‘appreciates’ Beltre, knows to not rub Rangers star’s head

Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson is the only third baseman in MLB history to play more games at third base than Adrian Beltre, and the Baltimore Orioles’ legend is a member of the Beltre fan club.

Robinson, who won 16 Gold Gloves in his career, said that he has watched Beltre throughout the years and considers the Texas Rangers’ star to be in a small group at the hot corner who rate as the best.

Robinson included Beltre in a group that includes Orioles star Manny Machado, who now plays shortstop, and Colorado Rockies All-Star Nolan Arenado.
