Of course it was Jose Altuve.
One of baseball’s all-time best postseason players stepped up to the plate in the ninth inning with his Houston Astros down three runs after Adolis Garcia’s home run and the bench-clearing fracas that resulted after Garcia was later hit by a pitch.
And with two men on, Altuve smacked a three-run home run that would prove to be the game-winner in Game 5 of the ALCS — the Texas Rangers are now one contest away from elimination.
The radio call from the Astros’ radio booth of Robert Ford and Steve Sparks is epic, with a “HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?” and an additional call of, “Clear eyes and full heart!”
So good:
