There’s only one thing sweeter than the Astros winning the championship. And that’s beating the Yankees to do it.
And beating them with a walk-off home run?
Ain’t nothin sweeter.
That’s Jose Altuve.
Sweetness to every Astros fan.
Poison to all who oppose him.
Maybe that’s why they hate him so much in New York. Because he wrecks their dreams, almost every year it seems.
Like in the 2019 ALCS, when he took Aroldis Chapman, deep, deep to left field to break the ninth-inning tie and send the Yanks home...and the Stros to the World Series.
