As a sixteen-year-old in Venezuela, Jos Altuve attended a tryout camp with the Houston Astros. The Astros rejected him because he was too short, but that didn t break his spirit. He attended the tryout a year later and earned a minor-league contract with Houston. Just five-foot-five, Altuve has become a baseball phenomenon. He has played in four MLB All-Star Games and led the American League in hits, stolen bases, and batting average. In 2016, he even belted more than twenty home runs. Learn how Altuve overcame the odds in his first-ever biography. Full-color photos and plenty of vibrant quotes bring his story to life.
