José Altuve ripped shirt off after three-run homer stuns Yankees into submission.
People are dancing in the streets of Houston today after José Altuve hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to put the Astros ahead of the New York Yankees. Altuve ripped off his shirt in celebration and frankly, we don’t blame him one bit.
This marks the first win for the Astros in their three game series with the Yankees, having been shut out completely in their previous two outings.
This comes just after Dusty Baker called out Aaron Judge for trolling Jose Altuve with his home run celebration on Saturday.
“I noticed what he did,” Baker told the media. “That was wrong. That’s my homeboy. But that was wrong. Hey man, people can do what they want to do. He’s one of the biggest, baddest dudes out there.”
