Texas Rangers great Adrian Beltre set the tone on Sunday as the Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed four new members during the annual induction ceremony at the Clark Sports Center. Beltre, who finished his 21-year career with 3,166 hits and five Gold Gloves at third base, was enshrined along with Twins catcher Joe Mauer and Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, the latter pair becoming baseball's newest one-team Hall of Famers. That puts the Hall's membership at 273 among those who entered as players. Also inducted was longtime manager Jim Leyland, who piloted four teams, including the 1997 World Series champion Florida Marlins. Leyland represented the Detroit Tigers, whom he managed from 2006 to 2013 and led to a pair of AL pennants.
With 3,166 hits and five Gold Gloves, he truly set the standard for third basemen. 
It's also wonderful to see Joe Mauer and Todd Helton being recognized for their loyalty and incredible careers with their teams. 
And a big shoutout to Jim Leyland, whose leadership brought success to multiple franchises, including the 1997 World Series champion Florida Marlins. 
️ This year's Hall of Fame class showcases the diversity and greatness of baseball!
