Poor Glove is Dead

The Astros players held a funeral for Carlos Beltran’s glove:

Wearing black Astros T-shirts, the players gathered in center field at Minute Maid Park and knelt in a semicircle around catcher Brian McCann, who delivered a eulogy while dressed in a black robe. The glove was laid to rest in a white shoe box, which Josh Reddick placed on the grass in front of three fake gravestones that were planted by George Springer.

Beltran, who hasn’t played the field in two months, pulled out his iPhone to capture McCann’s words on video. The 40-year-old laughed with the rest of his teammates.
