Adrian Beltré, Joe Mauer, Todd Helton and Jim Leyland were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday.
Adrian Beltré, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton were pegged as athletic phenoms from a young age and all three lived up to expectations with their induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. The Los Angeles Dodgers were so sold on Beltré early on that they broke MLB rules to sign him before he turned 16. Beltré reached the big leagues just after his 19th birthday and was quickly considered one of the best prospects in sports as a teenager.
After a knee injury in 1994 paved the way for Manning to become Tennessee's quarterback, Helton shifted all of his focus to baseball where he was named the winner of the Dick Howser Award by the American Baseball Coaches Association and named Player of the Year by Baseball America. Helton was selected by the Colorado Rockies with the No. 8 overall pick in the 1995 amateur draft and never left the Mile High City.
