As a Red Sox fan, I've had the pleasure of following the Sox on TV or radio and reading Gordon Edes real-time tweets from wherever he may be, at the ballpark or watching NESN. On Thursday night, over the course of the game versus the Blue Jays, a wave of tweets concerning just how tough Adrian Beltre is -- along the line of the "Chuck Norris Facts" of a few years back. No doubt there's some copying from one meme to the other, but here are some of my favorites.
- They wanted to name a street after Beltre. He said no. Nobody crosses Adrian Beltre.
- Beltre doesn’t get caught looking. He allows baseballs to live.
- When Jays wanted to open roof, they asked Beltre to hit popup in batting practice.
- Adrian Beltre hasn't made 15 errors, the official scorers have.
- When Brian Bosworth was flattened by Bo Jackson, he said, "I'm just thankful it wasn't Beltre."
- Adrian Beltre has never hit into a fielder's choice. The choice is up to him.
- When Adrian Beltre does a postgame interviews, he asks the questions.
- Sly Stallone offered Adrian Beltre the lead in "The Expendables." He declined, saying he prefers tough-guy movies.
- Adrian Beltre used to bench-press Ichiro before Mariners games.
- The last time Adrian Beltre took BP, Tony Hayward resigned as CEO.
- Adrian Beltre can touch MC Hammer.
Rob Bradford at WEEI wrote a story last month about how Beltre got so tough, and he collected another list of Adrian Beltre facts -- sorry for the repeats. Enjoy, but don't laugh too hard. Beltre will hear you.
