In what was billed as an epic heavyweight American League Championship Series, the little guy won. The Houston Astros and New York Yankees were tied 1-1 coming into three key games in New York, and Jose Altuve helped deliver the American League West Champion to their second World Series bid in three years. He started Game 3 with a solo home run in the first, then ended the series with an epic walk off 2-run home run off of fireball closer Aroldis Chapman to defeat the Pinstripes. For the week over 4 games, Altuve went 5-16, 1 2B, 2 HR and 6 runs scored (out of his team's 19 runs). He also walked 3 times and never struck out. The three-time American League batting champion is the leader of the Astros and has them in position to win a second title. He is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
