On 40th birthday, Beltran feeling `blessed`
(MLB.com Houston Astros)

Unlike former Cubs catcher David Ross, who earned the moniker `Grandpa Rossy` in 2016 from his teammates for being the oldest regular contributor on the club at age 39, outfielder Carlos Beltran has yet to be tagged with an affectionate nickname, even though he`s the Astros` first 40-year-old player since 42-year-old Doug Brocail in 2009.
