Check out this very good article on the shortstop. Excerpt:
Then there are the extras, and the scouts who have been coming here for several springs have noticed some of these things, too.
# Three hours before Griffin's game with Riverdale recently, Beckham - who could be the first player taken in the June 5 baseball draft - was on his knees scooping dirt out of the metal sleeve at second base so a base could be slid in place.
# Beckham is the first player to run out on the field to take his position when teams change sides. He also is one of the first out of the dugout to congratulate a teammate.
# Twenty minutes after a 10-0 win over Riverdale, Beckham was chatting with Tampa Rays executives Andrew Friedman and Gerry Hunsicker when he saw some of his teammates clowning for a photographer. They waved for him to join them and Beckham rushed back to the field, leaving behind two men who could make him an instant millionaire.
"Tim does not set himself apart," said his father, Jimmy Beckham. "He does what his teammates do."
Well, that's not exactly true. Beckham's skill – and intangibles – set him apart, and his teammates, most assuredly, cannot do what Beckham can do.
