It is fitting that Beltre got his 3,000th hit on the same day Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez and Tim Raines got inducted into Cooperstown because that's where he'll be on the last Sunday of July in a few years from now depending on when he retires. He's hitting .307 at age 38 and may have a few more years of baseball to play. Who knows? Maybe we'll get to see his 4,000th hit.

Adrian Beltre Gets 3,000th Hit
Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre became the 31st player in MLB history to collect 3,000 hits in his career. Beltre doubled off Baltimore Orioles southpaw Wade Miley this afternoon to join the exclusive club. Beltre is the first Dominican born player to reach the milestone and only the third third baseman to attain this total. The others were George Brett and Wade Boggs. This puts Beltre in some pretty damn good company.
