It's only fitting the Rangers retire Adrian Beltre's jersey. There was never anybody quite like him previously in Rangers history and there probably won't be anybody like him again.
On Saturday evening, the Rangers will welcome Beltre, who retired after last season, back for a ceremony to make his No. 29 the fourth retired jersey in club history. He joins Nolan Ryan (34), Johnny Oates (26) and Ivan Rodriguez (7). In addition, No. 42 is retired throughout baseball in honor of Jackie Robinson.
How best to sum up the reasons for the retirement of his jersey?
Well, there isn't just one reason.
