CINCINNATI – Astros owner Jim Crane made a special trip to the 86th annual All-Star Game at Great American Ball Park to hand deliver gifts to Dallas Keuchel and Jose Altuve.

Crane went into the American League clubhouse shortly before batting practice Tuesday afternoon and presented Altuve and Keuchel each with a Breitling watch.

“The reason I came really was to drop a gift off to each of the players and say, ‘Thank you for the hard work and let’s get going in the second half,’” Crane said.
