Altuve is Amazing

From Yahoo sports....

"Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was unstoppable at the plate this weekend — and he’s got his name in the record book to prove it.

Altuve recorded a hit in 10 straight plate appearances for the Astros this weekend against the Indians, setting a new club record. His mark, only the sixth ever in MLB history, was just two shy of the American League record, too, set by Walt Dropo in 1952.

Altuve’s stretch was broken on Sunday in the top of the ninth inning when he lined out to centerfield.

His stretch of hits included six RBI, three doubles, a triple and a home run."

********** of course he was doing all this against my Cleveland Indians! But, wow, just to watch this guy hit and run .... he is just the most amazing player to come along in years. You can't help but root for him. Not bad for a kid who was always told he was "too small to play baseball" by all his coaches.
