Rangers’ Beltre retires after 21 MLB seasons
Adrian Beltre, the all-time Major League Baseball hits leader among players born outside the United States, announced his retirement on Tuesday after 21 seasons, the last eight with the Texas Rangers.
The 39-year-old Dominican Republic third baseman was the last non-pitcher in the major leagues to play in the 1990s, leaving Dominican pitcher Bartolo Colon of Texas as the only 1990s player in the majors. Beltre was a four-time All-Star, a four-time Silver Slugger and five-time Gold Glove fielder. “After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, I have made the decision to retire from what I’ve been doing my whole life, which is playing baseball, the game I love,” said Beltre, who finished his career having played in 2,933 games, the 14th most in major league history. He also ranks 16th with 3,166 career hits, 24th with 1,707 runs batted in and 30th with 477 homers.
