Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Jose Altuve) hits everything. You throw him a breaking ball and he stays inside and pulls it. Throw a fastball away and he goes away. He moves the ball around the ballpark. He doesn't try to do anything extra. He tries to make good contact and use the whole field. He's a pretty good hitter. That's why he leads the league." - Washington, Ron. Texas Rangers Manager (2007-2014). Altuve's four-hit game helps Astros rally past Rangers. McTaggart, Brian. MLB Staff Writer. 31 August 2014.
