The statue honors Beltré as the first Dominican Republic player with 3,000 hits and commemorates his eight seasons with the Rangers, joining legends Nolan Ryan and Iván Rodríguez.
- On Friday, the Texas Rangers unveiled a life-sized bronze statue of Adrián Beltré hitting a home run with his right knee grounded, positioned to glance toward the old ballpark across the street.
- Having spent eight seasons with Texas, Adrián Beltré was enshrined in the Hall of Fame last summer and had his No. 29 retired by the Rangers this year.
- Statistically, Adrián Beltré finished with a.286 average, 477 homers, and 1,707 RBIs across four teams and reached 3,000 hits on July 30, 2017.
- At the dedication, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy and teammates attended, former teammate Elvis Andrus continued a familiar gesture by rubbing the statue's head, and the Rangers will present Beltré a smaller version on Saturday with a ceremonial pitch by Texas artist and sculptor Mike Tabor.
- The statue places Adrián Beltré alongside Rangers legends like Nolan Ryan and Iván 'Pudge' Rodríguez, becoming the third player honored with an exterior statue to celebrate his Texas-sized legacy.
