Dominican player Beltre antics further evidence of erosion of baseball as Adrian Beltre uses umpires as ringmasters

   I have always states that baseball should just stop blowout game after the seventh inning and they would be better off throwing out clowns to entertain for the last half hour. The antics of some Dominican ball player named Adrian Beltre is evidence of why baseball has declined from a cultural institution and exists mainly today as advertising and corporate sponsorship of a very bad product and sport. With little regard for the tradition of the sport, Adrian Beltre was trying to disrespect an umpire who for his own safety told the player to get back in the on deck circle as another batter batted. The buffoon Mr Beltrae decided to make this a circus and brought the tarp circle towards the spot he insisted on swinging his arms.

The umpire immediately threw out this arrogant baseball player and after the game Mr Beltrae concluded the umpires decision was rude. Some may of thought Adrian Beltre's actions were humorous but they need be reminded the grounds of a ballpark are for baseball play and is not a circus. he clown Beltrae could easily perform comedic actions elsewhere and the fact that this guy made this stupid scene is reason to believe that most of baseball is a lackluster sport even its own players dreary look forward to playing and clearly are just there for paychecks. \The lack of respect for the game and traditions of American baseball should also not be surprising considering the large number of foreign Dominicans and Guatemalans than continue to be imported to play this game despite the fact there are millions of young native born kids playing the game. If Adrian Beltre wishes to perform funny act and use the umpires of this traditional game as a ringmaster he must go and join some Dominican circus.
