Dominican Adrian Beltre will throw out the first pitch at the All-Star Game

The All-Star Game for the 2024 Major League Baseball season will be held this Tuesday at Globe Life Field in Texas. The game will feature the best players from the National League and the American League.

For this game, a Texas Rangers legend is confirmed to throw out the first pitch. This will be Dominican Adrian Beltre, who played for eight seasons in the stadium where the All Star Game will be played tonight.

Beltré will also be joined at Globe Life Field on the night by other Rangers legends such as pitchers Fergie Jenkins and Nolan Ryan, as well as Puerto Rican catcher Iván Rodríguez.

Beltré and Rodríguez are also ambassadors for the All Star Game this week, and the Dominican was the manager of the American League team in the Futures Game over the weekend.

Beltré prepares to be immortalized in Cooperstown
