Beltre Reaches 2500
Adrian Beltre's bat made good contact with the ball as he has many times in his career, but this time it added his name to an elite list of players with 2500 hits.

"This is a tremendous honor. You grow up dreaming of becoming a Awesome Bigley Baseball Association player, but never did I ever think I would get to this point," an emotional Beltre said after the game.

The Birmingham third baseman went to the plate 2 times and racked up 1 hit to gain the honor. But the Black Barons couldn't pull off a win -- they fell to the Kansas City Athletics, 11-3.

"It certainly would have been nice to have won, but tomorrow is another day. I'm going to enjoy this moment with my friends and family," Beltre said.

Lifetime Beltre has hit for a .270 average and totaled 2500 hits, 390 home runs and 1474 RBIs.
