José Altuve Shows Off 'Terrible' Tattoo After ALCS Buzzer Rumors

José Altuve isn't too shy anymore.

On Monday, Altuve took his shirt off in front of reporters to expose a tattoo on his left collarbone, responding to questions over whether he wore a signal-transmitting buzzer during the 2019 American League Championship Series against the Yankees.

After Altuve hit a walk-off home run to clinch the ALCS, he clutched his collar as he rounded third base, imploring teammates not to rip off his jersey. Altuve previously said he didn't want his shirt ripped off because he was shy, but his teammate Carlos Correa recently offered two other explanations for the jersey controversy.
