Elvis Andrus inducted into the Texas Rangers Baseball Hall of Fame with assist from Adrian Beltré
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Elvis Andrus was a 20-year-old kid when he went to spring training in 2009 with the Texas Rangers to be their starting shortstop. He is now in their Hall of Fame. The fun-loving skilled shortstop for the franchise's first two World Series appearances, who became like a pesky little brother to National Baseball Hall of Fame third baseman Adrian Beltré in their eight seasons together on the left side of the infield, was inducted as the 27th member of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame on Saturday. 'He definitely deserves it. He's one of the best ballplayers to play here with the Rangers,' said Beltré, who retired after the 2018 season. "He did so many things to make our ballclub better when we played together.' It was Beltré who helped Andrus slip on the blue blazer presented to Rangers Hall of Fame members. They then together unveiled the former shortstop's plaque. 'That was a surreal moment,' Andrus said. 'When we unveiled it, he's like they wrote a lot of things on that. That was so funny, that was so Adrian.' Andrus started 1,605 games at shortstop for Texas over 12 seasons, the most games started at one position for any player in franchise history. He is the franchise leader with 305 stolen bases, and ranks second in total games (1,652), at-bats (6,366), triples (48), and sacrifice hits (100). His 1,743 hits and 893 runs both rank third, and he played at least 145 games in 10 seasons for the Rangers. Texas went to back-to-back World Series in 2010 and 2011, and Andrus remained with the Rangers until being traded to Oakland at the start of spring training in 2021. He was sent to the Chicago White Sox the following year and played his final big league game in 2023. He officially retired as a Ranger last September after signing a ceremonial one-day contract. The pregame ceremony Saturday concluded with the 36-year-old Andrus taking the shortstop position, with former teammates Mitch Moreland at first, Michael Young at second and Beltré at third. They did an around-the-horn throw that served as a first pitch before the Rangers' 3-2 win over Seattle in 10 innings, with Andrus wrapping that up with a throw to Beltré that was a bit low. 'He was like, `Man, even when you retire, you don't throw it in the chest,'' Andrus said with a big smile. 'The whole idea of going through the infield with my buddies, that was very priceless.' Beltré and Young are also in the Texas Rangers Baseball Hall of Fame. So is Ian Kinsler, the former second baseman and Andrus' double-play partner who was unable to attend the ceremony. There were even a couple of attempts by Andrus to playfully tap Beltré on the top of the head, like Andrus did so often when they played together and it was well-known that the third baseman didn't like that. Beltré returned the favor Saturday by doing it to Andrus before they unveiled the plaque. When Andrus made his debut in 2009, the Rangers moved Young to third base after he had been an All-Star shortstop the previous five seasons. Young is still the team's career leader for games placed, at-bats, hits and runs. 'He always gives so much credit away. It goes to show you what kind of a person he is, but he's here because he did all the work. He did everything. He earned it,' Young said. 'I can kind of go on and on with the stuff that he has done to deserve this. But again, I think it's worth mentioning because it's so often he tries to deflect a lot of the credit.'

Kate Middleton reveals awkward run-in between her dad and Tim Henman at Wimbledon
Wimbledon is one of Kate Middleton's favourite summer events. She's attended the Grand Slam for years. But during one of her earlier visits, she had a moment she still laughs and cringes about. Kate, now 43, spoke about it in a 2017 BBC documentary, Our Wimbledon. It was a funny memory involving her dad, tennis legend Tim Henman, and a small but awkward mix-up. 'My father is not going to appreciate this,' she said in the interview. 'But we were walking past Tim Henman and we had just seen Pete Sampras play.' That's when her dad turned to Henman and said, 'Hi Pete.' 'I was mortified,' Kate said, laughing. According to Hello Magazine, Kate has been a regular at Wimbledon for years. As the royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she often watches from the Royal Box. She usually goes with Prince William. Sometimes, she brings their kids along too. Prince George and Princess Charlotte have already attended matches. Their younger brother, Prince Louis, hasn't yet - but he's a big fan at home. Kate once said he likes pretending to be a ball boy. Her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, also enjoy the sport. They've been seen at Wimbledon many times. Despite the Henman blunder, Kate and her dad remain very close. Michael Middleton still joins her at Wimbledon now and then. In 2021, they were seen laughing together and taking part in a Mexican wave, reported Hello Magazine. It's clear Kate inherited her love for tennis from her family. She's also passed that love on to her own children. She's said many times how much the sport means to her. Kate has even played tennis on camera before. She once joined Emma Raducanu for a friendly match during a youth event in London. Wimbledon 2025 starts on June 30. It runs for two weeks. Kate is expected to attend, but her schedule hasn't been confirmed. She usually presents the trophies to the champions. Fans are also curious if any of the royal kids will be with her. George and Charlotte have already made appearances. Many are hoping Louis might make his Wimbledon debut this year. For now, fans are just happy to hear Kate share such a funny, honest story. It's not every day a royal admits to being 'mortified' by their dad - even if it's in the Royal Box. She recalled her dad mistakenly greeting Tim Henman as 'Pete,' confusing him with Pete Sampras. Yes, she's a regular attendee and has often presented trophies at the finals. It's not confirmed, but Louis has yet to make his debut at the tournament.
