Young Astros Fan Had Heartwarming Reaction After Receiving Jose Altuve's Jersey

Jose Altuve made a young Astros fan’s day after the game on Monday.

The Astros may not have won Monday’s clash against the Marlins, but one young supporter of the team walked away from the game with a huge smile on his face.

After Houston’s 5-1 loss in Miami on Monday, star second baseman Jose Altuve could be seen approaching a group of Astros fans, which included a young boy. In a heartwarming postgame moment, Altuve could be seen taking the jersey off his back, signing it, and handing it to the child, who had an incredible response to the 33-year-old’s gesture. 

The fan was ecstatic to receive such a gift from Houston’s star infielder, so much so that he was reduced to tears, unable to control his emotions after meeting and receiving a game-worn jersey from one of his heroes.

Amid a slew of fans reaching out in hopes of getting their gear signed by the eight-time All-Star, Altuve took the time to go above and beyond for the young, die-hard supporter. It’s a moment that’ll surely be a lifelong memory for the fan.

Despite Houston’s loss, Altuve had a great game at the plate, registering three hits in four at-bats, with one walk and one RBI.
