He really is one of the all time greats. His humor he had on the field, just how cool he was with everyone. His stats alone are HOF material, add in how awesome he was personality wise. First Ballot for sure.
For sure. He is 4th all time tbh behind Schmidt, Matthews, and Boggs. Easily first ballot
@@tankwfw :)
One of the most memorable players in history for multiple reasons.
Remember there was zero humor in that man before Texas. All at his highlights, most of his goofing off, everything we love about him that was shown publicly, was done on the Texas rangers.
In Los Angeles he was on the Roids... Got off of them when he was in Seattle and had his numbers dropped dramatically, got to Texas and became a fundamental pure hitter and awesome defender.
He was a 260 to 270 hitter with every other team until 2010. And then all of a sudden he was hitting over 300 all the time.
@@paysonfox88 he never did roids?
He plays baseball not for fame or fortune, but for happiness.
Lol, and for fortune. No one does this for free.
An absolute legend. His friendship with Felix Hernandez was so damn entertaining and wholesome. Beltre was such a class act to show up personally to congratulate him when he was elected into Seattle's Hall of Fame. You know Felix will return the favor when Beltre gets the call to Cooperstown.
Love their friendship. Even when Felix beaned him, it was all good.
The game won’t be the same without him. Beltre represented the true joy of baseball in how he played and how he carried himself. First ballot HoF all the way!
One of those guys you have to love no matter what team you root for.
The Rangers haven’t been the same since.
Moving the on deck circle was the best
and to think he got ejected for that smh
Yeah he did :(
He was my favorite...GO RANGERS!
What a legend
No you're the best. Dummie.
I've got my Texas flag at half staff, what a sad day for MLB. Wish more young players would follow his example on how to be a class act, enjoy the game and have fun! HOF 1st round!!!
Rob Morrill they do have fun when they pimp home runs if that’s what you mean
Ngl pimping home runs is more fun than being classy
What a great human being on and off the field. His heart-warming personality alone should get him into the HoF. His resume speaks for itself.
Nobody will have more fun playing baseball than beltre. No, I am not cying btw I just got something in my eye.
ebubekir yasa what about Puig?
@@thomasjefferson2813 He seems to enjoy the game but nobody can compete with beltre. Beltre was also making people around him realize they are supposed to enjoy their job.
@@ebubeynj what about bartolo colon ....
@@MrMovielover17 he wouldn't have stuck around gor so long if he didny love what he does
Lindor?
watched this a few times and @8:30 kills me every time lmao😂😂😂😂
He's the type of dude to give 💯 when he "wants too" and other days
And
just 60% most of the time just to have fun and enjoy the game!! Moving the batting circle was EPIC hahaha 👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣😣
I played tee-ball with his son. Adrian would come to the games and practices to support his son. One time he was next to my mom and my mom asked if he could sign my glove. I now have an autographed Adrian Beltre glove :)
Cap
The only times I wish that I could just attach a picture to a comment
THAT'S COOL
2:25 Gallo and Beltre’s reaction lmao
All sports need more guys like this. He made it fun for everyone. Not just business as usual.
He is the reason I wore 29 and played 3rd base. He is hands down my favorite baseball player of all time. HOFer and one of the best players I ever watched, but on top of that the best personality you could ask for. I truly inspire to be like this man
Hes simply fantastic...having fun...thats what sports all should be about....Good for him!!!
8:50 -- the most unique and funny ejection I'll ever see. You ain't gonna see that one again. Only Adrian would think to move the batting circle itself.
I find it amazing how great Adrian Beltre was the funnest player to watch even as a like 39 year old.
Gotta love Adrian Beltre’.. Dude just absolutely loves the game.. Need more players like him foreal!!!
Beltrè better coach. I don't want this to end.
Would be awesome bro
I want him to be a base coach here in Texas
@@calebqueen2090 hopefully a manger for the Rangers once Woodward contract is up
1:58 Three legends all in the same shot. Baseball isn’t going to be the same without these guys.
Yeah Mauer, Beltre, Howard, and Wright are gonna be missed
@@mikegeiz also Fielder.
Fielder and Beltre represented the rangers so well. It was hard after fielder couldn't play, but Beltre leaving is really tough.
I'm not usually a person to say someone "played the game the right way" but Beltre did just that. He had the numbers to be a hall of famer regardless if he was a curmudgeonly little dude, but he he's surefire in my book for just having all the fun he did on the field. Hats off to you Adrian, you're an inspiration to all the guys who want to make their job the most fun thing they've done in their life. I look forward to your speech in Cooperstown.
How can anyone dislike Adrian?? I mean common. Impossible. Most likeable and hilarious dude ever in baseball. Just imagine how much his nieces and nephews love their uncle?? Family gatherings must be a cheek and tummy buster from laughing so much🤣😂💀😭
I remember getting his rookie card. Even as a kid I was thinking this guy is going to be around for a while. Glad to say I got to see his whole career. Can't wait to see his hall of fame induction percentage.
When did you change your name to Bryan mr. black?
gotta be 95%
I can imagine his HOF induction ceremony when they unveil his bronze bust. He'll be defending it from everyone that wants to rub its head. XDD
With a broom
He was one of my favorite players and I got to see him play in his last season it is sad to see him leave
The GOAT
K
Loved this guy, such a great ambassador for the game and funny as heck!!!
one of my favorite major league players. always enjoyed the game and he played it at a very high caliber. great career.
Can we just pause at the awful strike call at 0:28
A great player, a Hall of Famer..the stats and defense bear it out, and his status as an all-timer is cemented. Some players go there whole careers without providing any memorable moments, but this guy has a few from each season. The on deck circle move will be replayed on baseball highlight reels from now til the end of time. Respect to AB and enjoy your well earned retirement- from a huge baseball fan, thanks for the memories.
Damn I used to know Adrian Beltre and his family a long time ago when I was little. I had no idea he stopped playing baseball. I can’t think of his sons name right now and I’d probably have to ask my dad what it is but I have 2 very fond memories of them that I’ll think of whenever I hear his name. 1. I remember when he got our whole little league team into a baseball game with box seats and a gift basket that had a towel that I still use and a baseball that has some signatures from the Rangers. 2. I remember one time I was talking with his son after a game and we had just gotten ice cream from one of those old ice cream trucks that has cartoon characters as the different types of ice cream and he mentioned that his dad doesn’t like to get touched on the head. I may have some way I can contact them and just say hi and see what’s up. Guess that’ll be something I have to look into.
The only one that can get away with clowning around that much because he was such a beast. He is missed.
He’s one of my all time favorites because not only was he exceptional as a player but he let his personality shine. Too many duds in baseball.
As a Yankee fan Beltre ain't no joke and hilarious cause the head touching, messing with Elvis Andrus and Felix Hernandez. And of course his 3000 hits. So that's why I like about Beltre
Jacob Richardson same
@@mikeyliberti4137 including the brawl
Jacob Richardson oh yeah that too. And, GO YANKS
Im not crying, you're crying
I wish I watched morw of this previous rangers season because boy do I miss adrian. He was the most important rangers player to me.
0:14 pause there, that should be his baseball card.
The deck circle 😂. And they kicked our poor Adrian.
i know, Gerry Davis has no sense of humor.
Cause the umpire is a Grumpy old man
I never knew about Beltre until CZcams but now I am a fan....:) Baseball NEEDS more of this type of player....lets have some fun...cant tell you how much I have ENJOYED watching him...
Dude he is hilarious this video should have been longer
Favorite player growing up, glad you guys posted this.
Im gonna put the onion cutting aside for now
My favorite player ever. He is definitely an idol and a great. Someone to look up to for sure.
His fun loving personality and his longevity in baseball will work in his favor (along with the awards he picked up along the way) when his name comes up on the Hall of Fame ballot. If not his first year of eligibility, then his second.
I absolutely love him!!! Imagine having a beer and just chilling with him
Amazing carrer had the oportunity to see him play live here in texas .. Saludos Beltre
He was a rare gem for Baseball with his stats and humor!
MLB is missing something without Adrian and Texas Rangers will never be the same
definetly one of my most favorite players in baseball im sad that he retired :[
The person who disliked this was the ref that got mad when he moved the on deck circle
Y did he move the deck circle?
@@kadidjatoukone5759 why not?
@@kadidjatoukone5759 I think he didn't want to get hit if a foul ball came his way.
Adrian Beltre is one of a kind
1 clip is missing from this: From a few seasons ago where he went to a knee and spun around swinging through a pitch, and then the next pitch hit a home run going to a knee again
what an amazing player and such fun to watch...he will be missed especially the fun he had...
One of my favorite players of all time and so far the most entertaining to watch. He just loves the game and playing it. It's like watching a kid play a game that they live, except the "kid" is a full grown man with over 3100 hits and nearly 500 homers. Easy first ballot Hall of Famer and honestly should be unanimous entry first year eligible.
It doesn't hurt that he plays my favorite position on the field and is one of the best ever there. An argument can be made that he's overall the best 3rd basemen to ever play...given how good he was on both sides.
You can tell this man loved every minute playing.
The guy hit 48 home runs with the dodgers in '04. He then signed that big contract with Seattle the year after but he was a mediocre at best for 5 years. He basically rejuvenated his career when he signed with the Red Sox in 2010. Since then, he became one of the best all around hitters in baseball. As a Sox fan, what could've been had they resigned Beltre after his 2010 MVP caliber season. 🤔
Happy Retirement! 1st ballot HOF WORTHY
He is one of the many gifts baseball has got
Truly one of the most fun to watch and classiest players the game will ever see.
He made baseball fun and everyone smile.
He's just a natural nice guy..God bless Adrian..I like watching you
I'm from red sox nation but I gotta say he made watching baseball fun and he sure loved the game and I say all teams enjoyed his infectious attitude thank you adrian beltre
8:30 for the on deck circle ejection 😂
Gerry Davis has no sense of humor,no personality and his ejection of Beltre for moving the on-deck circle is a stupid call. Umpires should lighten up a bit.
Fantastic player always good to watch, 🇬🇧
By far one of my favorite players!
I'm not even a baseball fan and I absolutely love this guy
I remember back in 04 I snuck a poster board sign I made in Dodgers stadium that said “MVP Beltre” he didn’t win the MVP but man he made me proud of being a Dodgers fan and sad he left… that being said sneaking in the sign wrapped around my thigh under my jeans and walking to the second pavilion, and hiding it till one of the last innings really left red marks and paper cuts my thigh but it was worth it! Being a teenager and having everyone around me cheer and hype me up while I wave a homemade MVP Beltre sign was insane!
Dude was and still is a fan favorite despite him being retired!
of all baseball players..i have to say...this guy is the funniest ive seen...just him having fun. Like a kid! Love this guy.
He was absolutely incredible.
A man that loves the game. What a gem.
My favorite player all time. Baseball can be repetitive and at times boring. Practice especially! Not with a teammate like Beltre!
he' the best! he was insane in his prime and always the funniest
I miss him already. And by the way, those of you who aren't familiar, just to give you some context:
1. He HATES it when guys touch his head 10:40
2. He and Felix Hernandez are best friends 1:17
Miss the guy already
Awww miss seeing him soooo much ....
All of these highlights are the reason he's going to the Hall of Fame with a rangers cap on. It was only in his years with the Texas rangers that he was truly happy. He really let loose in Texas. He had his highest batting average, best defense, most All Star selections, and greatest impact on the Texas rangers.
Plus he is one of the very few players to get better overall after he stopped taking steroids. In 2003 and 2004 with the dodgers he experimented with them. After he stopped, his home run numbers dropped, but his batting average and defense skyrocketed.
Thank you, Adrian Beltre.
0:45 is my favorite moment. Such a great guy
The guy just makes you smile.
Will definitely miss him. I'm not crying, you're crying.
Beltre will always be the funniest baseball player ever on the field
I’m currently getting radiation therapy on my face/nose so it hurts to smile and laugh but this guy is worth it. Always enjoy a person who loves his job.
Beltre always reminds us to simply have fun
i would've taken 21 more years of Beltre
Thank you for this video 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Beltre, Mauer, and Utley. Man we’ll miss ya
not Sauer and manny Rodriguez
This guy loved every single minute he spent on the field.... The GOAT
I’m a lifelong A’s fan but I have always been a big Beltre fan because he played for love of the game and with no ego! There are too few athletes like him!
My favorite. Will miss ya Tre
My favorite player to watch. Ever. Disappointed this video didn't include some of the shenanigans between Beltre and Elvis Andrus.
Great player and even greater person. 100% deserved first ballot
Statistically Adrian is a top 5 3B all time and he doesn't get enough credit. He is also one of the coolest, down to Earth, fan favorite players of all time. Once in a lifetime
greatest video of all time
Bro he should go in the hall of fame for his humor and how much fun he has with the game
We miss this guy so much here in Dallas.
One of the funniest man in baseball history. Dude's a joy in the field.
We all realized he was a legend too late in his career.
This guy is too much...u gotta love him. too funny.
Isn't it crazy to think that he played against Tony Gwynn, and on the other hand he's played against guys like Shohei Ohtani. Talk about longevity.
Adrian was one of the guys who got me into the game when I was a kid. Father Time wins all battles eventually. It’s going to be hard imagining a season without the personality of Beltre being a part of it. Baseball got a little less fun with his retirement ☹️
God, i really gonna miss him
This is how I had to find out Beltre retired? I was just getting ready to go to my first Rangers spring training game of the season :(
Really miss Beltre. He loved the game
