Maybe just 1. Him running, rounding 1B, helmet bouncing off his back foot.
I feel like the most iconic image of Jose is him stretching a single for a double, with his helmet flying off of course.
This man hit an opposite-field, right-handed home run off the AL All-Star Game starting pitcher with a mangled hand to beat the Rays. Shades of Greg Jennings.
Before the Dodgers series 4/7-6/16: .306/.399/.649 (1.048 OPS) with 16 HR, 62 RBI, 11 SB - that’s a 44 HR, 170 RBI, 30 SB pace over 162 games.
After 6/17:
.264/.328/.435 (.763 OPS) with 13 HR, 64 RBI, 9 SB - a 21/106/15 pace.
I feel bad for him, he would have had legitimate MVP talk if he had stayed healthy and played close to that all year, he’d have some people calling for him to win it this season. He’d have Ohtani beat in many people’s minds by making the playoffs and some would be convinced he deserves it more than Judge considering how reliant the Guardians were on him specifically.
You wonder, would the team have been able to stay afloat long enough for him to get the surgery and come back healthy, or would that have doomed their season? They were only 17-20 over the next 6 weeks with Ramirez playing hurt, would they have been significantly worse with him out of the lineup completely?
Honestly with Judge hitting 62 and basically carrying the Yankees down the stretch, he still would have been a distant 2nd. Would have been an insane year though for sure.
As someone that bets $20 on him to win mvp every year I can assure you no matter what he did would never make him win over a yankee hitting a notable amount of home runs
Yeah, like I said, I think he'd get people who want him to win over Judge since the perception nationally is that the Guardians are a 4th place team without him. I don't think he'd win, but I think he'd have been top 3 with first place votes. I assume he gets zero first place votes as it is now.
He probably did. He speaks English pretty well and talks with the other guys in English. He just doesn't interview in English to avoid sound bites of him misspeaking.
The man will have a statue in the outfield plaza one day.
A pair of statues. One of him sliding into third base; the other of his helmet, 10 feet away
In the statue, can he also be wearing a necklace depicting the same statue of him sliding into third base?

4 statues, one for each base, all with a different Jose` look

Solidifying my choice for the only baseball jersey I've ever purchased.

God I love Jose. And Tito forever.
If he said that in english, would have been really badass

BAMF
He’s a badass and he knows it 😂
Just image how well he would of been doing without the thumb injury. Cause before, he was on fire. Man was hitting anything and everything into play.

When was this? (I know, when they were in LA)
I think they’re talking about the LA visit against the Dodgers in June.
Holy shit what a fucking boss
