I hope I can live long enough to see some news item or interview involving Jose where we're not reminded for the billionth time of his height. At some point news people,we get it. He's short. Can we just move on to some other facet of his career or life.
mark price Those kind of people that thinks like that, in general are insecure. They're trying to find something to feel good about themselves They're insecure. I'd rather hang out with a dude under 6'0 feet who I know will have my back in a fight vs. a guy who's over 6'0 who will run and hide like a wimp
I think it’s important to highlight it because it’s surreal to think that he’s as productive as he is. It’s pure physics that the larger you are, the more powerful you are; the fact he’s not just maintaining high batting averages like Ichiro, but also consistently achieving over 20 home runs completely demolishes all established norms of what’s important in a batter. I genuinely believe that pushing this message will inspire the many kids around the world that feel their height and stature will inhibit their dreams of making it (excuse the pun) big. I know it’s a broken record, but when the difference between the runner up and Altuve is over a over a foot, and over 110lb, it’s definitely something that should be highlighted.
Hey, look at that, you got your wish. Turns out when you're a cheater, nobody gives a fuck about your height. P.S. Fuck this midget and his cheating ways.
Altuve reminds me of Joe Morgan of the 75 and 76 Reds. Also a 2nd baseman, 5'7" and NL MVP for those two years. And two WS championships. I sense go things for 2018. Go Stros!!! Congrats Altuve!!
yo no one in their right mind can say that the mlb hasnt made huge strides in the last 2-3 years in terms of fandom. Now u got guys like altuve, judge, mookie betts, stanton, bryant, buxton, stroman, machado, harper, trout, correa, springer, lindor etc. (sorry if i missed some) its great to see man real potential stars.

Those who say that José Altuve was born in Maracay are wrong. He was born in Puerto Cabello, Estado Carabobo, Venezuela, and was raised in Maracay. He belongs to the Magallanes team in the Venezuelan league.
No problems with Altuve winning the AL MVP for 2017 as a Yankees fan. However I always thought MLB should also create a separate " player of the year" or offensive player of the year. If that was the case the OPOY would be Judge and MVP would be Altuve.In NL Goldschmidtof the D Backs would be MVP IMO and Stanton as the OPOY.
AmericanGiant100 that's what makes the award special! But when you start creating different awards left and right cause the person you wanted to win didn't then the MVP award doesn't mean much anymore! Go Altuve! Go Astros!! EarnedHistory!!!
As a lifelong Astros fan, I have nothing but the upmost respect for Aaron Judge. He's a kid with serious talent, and we're going to be hearing about him for a long time!
I can say the same as a Yankee towards the little shit lol. WE called him that during the ALCS lol I have great respect for him, I think we are going to have a nice little rivalry. I always respected the Astros, some of my favorite non yankees have been Astros, Bagwell, Berkman etc.
D Me all new york teams are trash..staring whit the yankees Knicks giants jets.nets..pure trash just like the fans..always choke..in the playoffs..LMAO
+Nelson ocasio psst, I think the OP might have been joking... he said the Yankees should win the Heisman every year. Come on, baseball humor, it's the best. ;)
D Me, you sound just like those Dodgers fans! They think LA should win every championship game they play in! And if they don't then it's must be the umpires' faults since they didn't do their jobs to guarantee a win for the Dodgers!
Grand Wonder I agree, they can be winers. & I appreciate that you respond as an adult would. I don't pay any attention to the pimple-faced, ignorant jerks who still think that saying "butt" makes them cool to their peers.
Con Pop Damn son, did he hurt your feelings? And strikeouts do matter, if you strikeout 200+ times or at a rate above 35%, that’s not too good. He does hit a lot of homers so it kinda makes up for it
Next level bull-Shit!! He won what because Houston had a hurricane so they feel obligated to give him the mvp award?? Next level bull shit! How in the hell did judge not win??
Judge didn't win because he isn't as good as Altuve, live with it crybaby! You and your kind think Yankees should win everything simply because New York Cocksuckers believe everything belongs to them? Right? Whatever, bitches! Just like it's the umpires' jobs to make sure the Yankees win, right?
Derek Jeter's 1999 stat line was better than Altuve's 2017 season... yet Jeter came in 2nd to Pudge Rodriguez... LoL sports writers aren't big fans of Yankee MVP's. Altuve is very much deserving. Just as much as Jeter was that 1999 season.
mari anziani Jeter hit .349. More hits, more runs only 10 Homeruns less... o and he played for the World champs of that season too...so he was the best player on the best team. Just like Altuve was this year.
1999 Jeter: .349 average, 24 HR, 102 RBI, .438 OBP , 346 Total bases, .553 slugging. Obviously better than 2017 Altuve: .346 average, 24 HR, 81 RBI, .410 OBP, 323 Total bases, .547 slugging.... yet in 2017 those numbers are good enough to win MVP, numbers that have been obtained numerous times in the game.
philip onyirimba LoL. No one is saying Altuve isn't deserving man. HE had a great year. Just saying, in previous years someone could have a better season than that of Altuve's and still not win the MVP. But of course he wins it with those numbers the year a Yankee hits over 52 HR, 115 RBI, over 100 runs and walks... God forbid the Yankee gets it. Just saying.
I saw this stat breakdown for the year and it just made It clear that the voting committee needs to be changed. These are the ONLY 4 stats Altuve beat Judge in this season: Batting Average, Hits, Strikeouts and Stolen bases... Judge bested Altuve in: OBP, SLG, OPS, wRC+, OPS+, HR, RBI, XBH, Runs, Walks, and DRS... those of u that don't know what any of that is, I'm not talking to u because your lack of knowledge says your opinion on the topic doesn't matter. But that's 9 categories Judge was better in as opposed to just 4 that Altuve was better in. For Judge to only get 2 first place votes is a joke and clearly the voting committee no longer knows what they're voting for. Do they vote for the best player on the best team? If so, then yes obviously Altuve wins. But obviously the fact they they also voted Stanton in the NL means that this is not how they make the determination... soooo do they vote for the player with the best offensive numbers? Nope, if that were the case then Altuve doesn't win... do they vote based on how well your team did when you were in the game? Nope, because again, that would mean Stanton doesn't win. They will never make up their minds on what makes the MVP. And though Altuve is certainly deserving, the voting results were a joke on the AL side.
That's a lot of offensive stat categories (and not all of those categories are equally important to each other). And you forgot steals, also. What about defense? What about ye olde "intangibles" that baseball writers love to vote based on? Also, it's a subjective award, not a stats-based award. Otherwise a computer would spit out the winner each year instead of the BBWAA.
HR, RBI, RUNS, WALKS and OBP are probably the most desired offense you want in a player and probably the most important stats on offense besides average and hits. Extra Base hits [XBH], very important.. Maybe Slugging and OPS and wRC+ dont matter much to you but those other stats are undeniably way more important than anything else. What about defense? Well that's what DRS is, Defensive runs saved. Judge had 9 DRS, compared to Altuve with 3. UZR- Ultimate Zone Rating, Judge was a 6.3 in RF while Altuve was a -2.0 at 2nd base. It's not all about how many errors someone has over another player. How many runs you save your team on defense and how many runs you're responsible for giving up on defense counts much more, and that's what these stats show. You're all quick to pounce and act like Altuve is the dominant fielder over judge because you see him make more flashy plays with more opportunities at 2nd base but he's really not. As for your other comment about it being a subjective award, you're 100% correct. Very Subjective at that. It has to be when a guy who drives in just 81 runs wins it.
Yellow Flame Gaulent And every vicory parade should be rollin" down Broadway. No-One has nearly the experience that they do. Shit ...We even stop KILLING strangers during the parade....lol!
Congrats Altuve, but in all honesty what a fucking joke...Judge had him beat in almost all categories and they give it to the midget. Baseball writers HAVE to do a better job because 27-2 does not reflect the stats. What they're saying is that Altuve's season was more than 13x better then Judge's season. Judge won 3 out 4 of the WAR stats which is the most important MVP stat!!! I mean c'mon man!! Is it because Altuve was so short he had to overcome more or some shit? Or is it the NY bias that everyone has? Reminds me of 2006 when Jeter got robbed of MVP and carried the team just like Judge. This is a joke, baseball has to do a better job with the voting...terrible terrible job.
That why IMO MLB should have a separate offensive player of the year and MVP to Judge. Being fair Judge did miss about a month of the season and probably costed him the MVP. If it were up to me Judge is the AL OPOY while Altuve is MVP. If anything compared to NHL Hockey MLB does not have alot of post season awards. This is the only new major award (Offensive player of the year)that should be added.
Getting 27 first place votes to 2 is not saying Altuves season was 13 times better. Not even close. All that means is that 27 people thought Altuve was maybe a little or maybe alot better than Judge.
"I know you want to talk about your team, but what does this mean for you personally?"
"Well I want to thank God and my family and my teammates, my teammates really make me who I am."
Thanks for posting this, Dodgers Highlights. Altuve seems like a very cool dude. So glad he got this honor and congrats to the Astros.
One of the most fun players to watch play ball. Like RIP Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan said he is one of few you come to pay to watch.
He is the proper winner for the award. Helped his team to win a World Series. I would have been disappointed if he hadn't won it. Well deserved!
Gosh, I think the proper winners were the trashcan bangers, what do you think?

I hope I can live long enough to see some news item or interview involving Jose where we're not reminded for the billionth time of his height. At some point news people,we get it. He's short. Can we just move on to some other facet of his career or life.

I think it’s important to highlight it because it’s surreal to think that he’s as productive as he is. It’s pure physics that the larger you are, the more powerful you are; the fact he’s not just maintaining high batting averages like Ichiro, but also consistently achieving over 20 home runs completely demolishes all established norms of what’s important in a batter. I genuinely believe that pushing this message will inspire the many kids around the world that feel their height and stature will inhibit their dreams of making it (excuse the pun) big. I know it’s a broken record, but when the difference between the runner up and Altuve is over a over a foot, and over 110lb, it’s definitely something that should be highlighted.
Congrats, he is now not only short but a cheater.
Hey, look at that, you got your wish. Turns out when you're a cheater, nobody gives a fuck about your height.

Well earned and so deserving of it! Congrats, Mr. Altuve!
SFAPowerhouse lmaoooo
SFAPowerhouse deserved it SO much. Robbed Judge in his ROOKIE SEASON of an mvp.
@@CadeAndrews Yep, the reason that Judge ultimately did not get it was because of too many strikeouts, as it was shown in the 2017 ALCS.
SFAPowerhouse yep

Hi! I’m SHARIFAH! This is The Ballad of Aaron Judge © by Daryl Breese
Born in California, 19-92.
Aaron stood tall, like most legends do.
With muscles and bones like Superman,
A destiny in pinstripes was his plan…
Aaron, Aaron Judge- hittin’ five hundred foot home runs!
So, he grew up quick in Linden’s San Joaquin fog,
Swingin’ his bat, as a Fresno Bulldog,
Then the Yankees said, Come follow DiMaggio.
Sign right here, and welcome to- da- Show!
Aaron, Aaron Judge- hittin’ that home run ball!
Well, Baseball knew they need a player just so,
A 6 foot seven Bomber, to lead the All Star vote!
With other Yankees “liven” in Monument Park,
The Judge hits ‘em there when he’s on the mark.
Aaron, Aaron Judge- hittin’ dem home run balls!
Now, Statcast says he’s faster than 1-2-0,
With tape measure homers that let the Red Soxs know.
The Curse of the Bambino, is this round two?
With a smile like Mickey’s, maybe an MVP too!
Aaron, Aaron Judge- hittin’ dem home run balls!
Now, Home Run Derby is Judge’s Domain, and
For 15 years, he’ll cause the Red Sox pain!
So, in the Judge’s Chambers, it better not rain, and
We know a candy bar will surely carry his name!
Aaron, Aaron Judge- crushin’ dem home run balls!
Whistle! Hot dog! Play ball!
This video is about Altuve so stop the weird Judge stuff

That's a lot of offensive stat categories (and not all of those categories are equally important to each other). And you forgot steals, also.
What about defense? What about ye olde "intangibles" that baseball writers love to vote based on?
Also, it's a subjective award, not a stats-based award. Otherwise a computer would spit out the winner each year instead of the BBWAA.
HR, RBI, RUNS, WALKS and OBP are probably the most desired offense you want in a player and probably the most important stats on offense besides average and hits. Extra Base hits [XBH], very important.. Maybe Slugging and OPS and wRC+ dont matter much to you but those other stats are undeniably way more important than anything else. What about defense?

Batting average is most important tho every baseball fan knows that
And he also did way better than judge in the playoffs..both times
All WS games should he played in Yankee Stadium...a REAL ballpark. Not 'Minute Maid Park'.
