ARLINGTON, Texas – Tony Beasley lives by a saying.
“Be yourself,” he’ll often say with his signature smile, as he did before the Rangers’ 10-3 win over Oakland on Thursday, “because everyone else is already taken.”
It’s a philosophy that’s worked for the 55-year-old throughout his entire life, including over 30 years in professional baseball. Which is why, over the last few days, he could tell something wasn’t working.
