COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.—Adrian Beltré, Joe Mauer, and Todd Helton were pegged as athletic phenoms from a young age, and all three lived up to expectations with their induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, July 21.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were so sold on Beltré early on that they broke Major League Baseball rules to sign him before he turned 16.
