Texas Rangers newest Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre waves to fans he’s introduced before Day 1 of the MLB Draft at the Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth, July 14, 2024.It’s become a tradition: When you attend the draft, in any sport, and the commissioner comes out on stage ... you boo., with Manfred walking through a set of saloon doors and onto the stage to be greeted by baseball fans in attendance with hearty booing.Rob Manfred is booed, as usual, upon going to the podium.
So it was a clever move by the commissioner, borrowing a little aura from the beloved Beltre and even warming up the crowd a little bit with his introduction of the soon-to-be Hall of Famer.The Rangers have the 30th overall pick in the 2024 draft, last in the first round thanks to their World Series championship in 2023. The draft will continue into Monday and wrap up the later rounds on Tuesday.
