That's what it's all about, right there -- truly a moment this young Altuve fan won't ever forget.
During Altuve's Mexico Series media session on Sunday, he mentioned this special moment:
"What happened yesterday surprised me a lot. It’s amazing how you can impact a kid that way. That woke me up and keeps me more [aware of] the way I play. Now you know you have kids that want be like you -- not only me -- like Carlos [Correa], like [Alex] Bregman, like [George] Springer. It seems like we have to lead by example, be good guys on and off the field."
Bregman was involved in a similar moment prior to Sunday's game, and it was also pretty fantastic:
Great on and off the field.

There's a reason @ABREG_1 is his favorite player. #MéxicoSeries pic.twitter.com/EM74MkUvf8
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
