Beltre wins Personality of Year in MLB AwardsNovember 18, 2017 | 09:17 PM

The baseball world saw on July 30 why Adrian Beltre has been selected as the Personality of the Year in the Esurance MLB Awards. Writer's Analysis: That was the day Beltre lined a double to left field off Orioles pitcher Wade Miley for the 3,000th hit of his career. When it was over, his family spilled onto the field to congratulate Beltre and his emotions immediately spilled over amid the hugs and kisses. The veteran third baseman won the award over the Indians' Francisco Lindor and the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig. While Beltre isn't on social media, he was nominated for Social Media Personality of the Year in 2016. That award became Personality of the Year in 2017. With an interchangeable scowl and smile, he is respected and admired across the Majors for his approach to the game. Beltre clearly has one of the most unique personalities in baseball.
