Venezuelan baseball player José Altuve made history again this Thursday as a postseason player during Game 4 of the American League Championship Series where the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 10-3.
This match represented the 100th game of “AstroBoy”, as the Venezuelan second baseman is also known, in the playoffs/World Series.
Now Altuve is the seventh player in Major League history to participate in at least 100 postseason games.

Given this, Astros manager Dusty Baker, who has been Altuve’s manager in 50 of those 100 games, said that being in the Venezuelan’s position “means that you have been on a good team for a long time and that you have a lot to do.” make sure your team is there for a long time”
“There are many games. He doesn’t feel overwhelmed or upset playing in these games,” he added.
On the all-time list, Altuve has been one of the best in terms of hitting in the postseason. He is second in home runs (25), eighth in RBIs (51), eighth in doubles (20) and fourth in hits (85), among other categories.
The list of all-time leaders in games played in the postseason is made up of: Derek Jeter (158), Jorge Posada (125), Bernabé “Bernie” Williams (121), David Justice (112), Manny Ramírez (111), Yadier Molina (104), José Altuve (100) and Constantino Martínez (99).
