What Astros Fans Need, Altuve Provides
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man of five foot five.
Upon his hand I caught sight of
The luster of a golden glove.
And resting on his shoulder right,
Five argent clubs gleaming bright.
Atop his head for all to see,
A batting crown (just one of three.)
“This man,” I thought, “must be a king,”
For that is when I saw his ring:
“World Champions” and just along
The side inscribed was “Houston Strong.”
I asked his name, he’d only say,
“I help the team. I love to play.”
Then Houston stood to answer me,
“José Altuve, MVP.”
