A biography for Jose Altuvehasn’t been written yet.
“I don't think I'm the face of the city or the Houston Astros. I'm just another guy who is playing hard to make dreams come true.”
“You win a championship, and you feel 7 feet tall.”
“I never let my size matter, just like Dustin Pedroia.”
“You know that in the playoffs, everyone starts from zero. No matter what team you have to face, if you want to make it to the World Series, you have to get through two rounds against very good teams that are going to be hot.”
“That's what I love about baseball, that it gives the opportunity for every single guy to develop and play the game. There's not a rule that you have to be 6 foot or you have to be real strong to play baseball or to become a good player.”
“I don't think what size I am really matters.”
