BREAKING: Astros win Game 2 in the best-of-5 American League Division Series against Seattle.
— Dillon Harrell couldn’t believe his good fortune when he came away with Yordan Alvarez’s walkoff home run ball that ended Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday, but he didn’t feel like the ball belonged to him. He wanted to give it to Alvarez,Instead, Harrell was told Alvarez just wanted to meet him. Almost five hours before Game 2, Alvarez met Harrell and his family and told Harrell the ball is his.
For fans who aren’t lucky enough to catch a foul ball, they can buy game-used balls ranging from $25 to at least $100. Last year, for instance, I bought my lefty 8-year-old son a ball thrown by then-Astros lefthander Brooks Raley, and my righty 13-year-old son a ball thrown by Zack Greinke, one of his sports icons.
Regarding the Astros' decision to let Correa leave in free agency, he said he understood the business reasons for the move, specifically Peña being under team control at the MLB minimum while Correa was seeking in the neighborhood of $35 million a season. I’d also pitched for the Bearkats and worked for the school newspaper, The Houstonian, so I invited the Astros out to Holleman Field during a midweek practice late in the winter of 1993. Manager Art Howe graciously accepted, leading to one of the all-time memorable Bearkats practices.
I brought up the long-ago visit to Servais before Thursday’s Game 2 of the American League Division Series in Minute Maid Park.
