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.

[pedrolai]

He plays baseball not for fame or fortune, but for happiness.

[shanemcnelis]

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!

[robmorrill]

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!!!

[nygtilldeath]

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.

[MichaelGuardiani]

Moving the on deck circle was the best

Nobody will have more fun playing baseball than beltre. No, I am not cying btw I just got something in my eye.

[craigwheeler]

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 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 :)

All sports need more guys like this. He made it fun for everyone. Not just business as usual.

[CHUBBS]

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.

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

[richardcalisi]

[chukmorris]

Gotta love Adrian Beltre’.. Dude just absolutely loves the game.. Need more players like him foreal!!!

[simplysimple]

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🤣😂💀😭

[zackhaselius]

I find it amazing how great Adrian Beltre was the funnest player to watch even as a like 39 year old.

[xSoyPeanut]

1:58 Three legends all in the same shot. Baseball isn’t going to be the same without these guys.

[bmd]

Loved this guy, such a great ambassador for the game and funny as heck!!!

[andand]

Can we just pause at the awful strike call at 0:28

[BQuatro]

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
