No showboating. No slow walking. No attention to himself. He politely runs the bases & greets his teammates. The smallest guy in baseball picks up his team like a champion. Meanwhile, in the dugout Altuve is hurling more F-Bombs than George Carlin.

One thought from yesterday re "the letter" was the utter hypocrisy by Judge. His pompous, holier than thou statements ('17) are foolish. The difference between he and Altuve? Altuve admitted to cheating and he didn't even participate. Judge knew the NYY cheated and said nothing.
