After title-clinching grab, Astros' Kyle Tucker nabs even bigger catch during offseason
After making the grab that clinched the Astros' second World Series title, Kyle Tucker nabbed an even bigger catch in the offseason: a fiancée.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Two of Kyle Tucker’s most meaningful life moments occurred one month apart. On Nov. 5, the right fielder sprinted into foul territory to secure the final out of Houston’s World Series victory against the Philadelphia Phillies, sending teammates spilling onto the field and a city into delirium.
Tucker had to complete a bigger task around Christmas: proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Samantha. Both brought a belly full of butterflies, but one had Tucker far more nerve-wracked. “Probably propose,” Tucker said on Saturday with a grin. “I had that fly ball the whole way. I was diving, like, 30 rows in the stands to catch that if there was no net or anything.”
Tucker nearly did, but corralled Nick Castellanos’ shallow fly ball just before making contact with the netting down Minute Maid Park’s first-base line. Tucker still has the baseball as a souvenir at his home in Florida. Samantha’s “yes” still brought a far more significant happiness for Tucker. The couple is set to wed during the upcoming offseason.
