That's what it's all about, right there -- truly a moment this young Altuve fan won't ever forget.
During Altuve's Mexico Series media session on Sunday, he mentioned this special moment:
"What happened yesterday surprised me a lot. It’s amazing how you can impact a kid that way. That woke me up and keeps me more [aware of] the way I play. Now you know you have kids that want be like you -- not only me -- like Carlos [Correa], like [Alex] Bregman, like [George] Springer. It seems like we have to lead by example, be good guys on and off the field."
Bregman was involved in a similar moment prior to Sunday's game, and it was also pretty fantastic:
Great on and off the field.
