Altuve is the heart and soul of this ball club. What a terrific year he is having! He Is the nonpareil.
Looking at the AL batting leaders, I am shocked to see that David Ortiz has more stolen bases than Manny Machado.
Also, homeruns seem to be flying out of the ball park at an alarming rate.

amazing . . . THAT 8 OUT OF 10 ON THIS LIST APPEAR TO BE HISPANIC (names?)…NOT AN ISSUE of any kind – don’t we raise any American baseball players any more?
