Maybe Mattress Mac is not the only one with $8 million riding on the Astros.

I saw this last night. Altuve is a genuine superstar who has humility.

[Puppage]

Agreed. Me, too. Altuve is a great ball player.

I was hoping NYY would win to set up an Acela WS, but two thumbs up for Altuve.

[Rummyfan]

That is some good sportsmanship.

The Yankees played some amazing baseball. We Astro’s fans can only revere the clubs great history.

This series was.a e tribute to so much that is good. Glad the Astros won but also grateful for the Yankees and their history of excellencie

[PGalt]

HOORAY Jose!

Thanks. I love the Yankees tradition. Their uniforms are the best original traditional. I love that Steinbrenner insisted they be clean shaven with short hair. BUT WE now just watch on TV. Can’t afford the games at the new stadium.

I’m a Nats fan but I really like Altuve.

I read that Aaron Judge is 6’7” and just shy of 300 pounds. I also read that he was adopted on the day that he was born and is not shy to say that he is a Christian. There was a moment when Judge was on second base with Altuve and they were having some friendly conversations. Pretty cool.

Cool indeed.

Would be a nice addition to our Astros! :-)

[nutmeg]

LOL! 😄

[gcparent]

Nah. Yankees need Judge’s humility. Stripes look good on a tall guy. Lol.

[Howie66]

It was a terrific series that I will long remember.

Now bring on those Gnats!

I hear you on that. That said, we do try to attend the Astros when we can. I might even splurge for the World Series...I figure it’s once in a lifetime.

The Astros are really a big deal in Houston. And its all so positive. They are good guys, they work and try so incredibly hard. They bring out the whole city and we all love them, and there’s nothing to argue and fight about. This is good.

It was especially good for Houston to win in 2017 after Harvey. That really did a LOT for the city.

[ConservativeDude]

Sounds like the Nats and Astros have set up a great World Series!

Good luck!!

I remember reading about Altuve and a friend of his, also from Venezueala, but no longer with the Astros. I think he went to the Twins.

Anyways, Altuve said...”Yeah, he will probably be my best forever. Just not on game day.”

That’s a pro right there. Not only what you want from a ball player, but as a human being.
