In the bottom of the fifth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night, Texas Rangers third baseman and jokester Adrian Beltre swung and missed at a Matt Garza fastball and then imagined that he was playing golf. (Check out the video above.) Beltre could have attempted to advance to first base on the dropped third strike but decided instead to putt the ball along the third base line. The playoffs-bound Rangers clinched the AL West and should hope that it's about a month before Beltre is playing golf for real.
