Read: Fatherhood Has Changed Beltran

Marty Noble at MLB.com writes about the impact fatherhood has had on Carlos Beltran.

“Beltran’s expression changes when he speaks of his new level of happiness and the daughter responsible for it. A soft glow develops and sincerity takes over. Smiles last longer and are more plentiful. He appears younger and gentler and far less circumspect. In clubhouse parlance, he is looser.”

...i love articles like this…i feel like way too often people look at players as money grubbing, moving statistics and forget they are human beings with lives outside of baseball that could certainly influence their performance on the field…regardless of if this has any impact on beltran’s play i’m extremely happy for carlos and his family and wish them the best of luck…
