ARLINGTON, Texas -- Elvis Andrus was a 20-year-old kid when he went to spring training in 2009 with the Texas Rangers to be their starting shortstop. Now, he's in their Hall of Fame.
The fun-loving skilled shortstop for the franchise's first two World Series appearances, who became like a pesky little brother to National Baseball Hall of Fame third baseman Adrian Beltré in their eight seasons together on the left side of the infield, was inducted as the 27th member of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame on Saturday.
"He definitely deserves it. He's one of the best ballplayers to play here with the Rangers," said Beltré, who retired after the 2018 season.
