Solomon: Dusty Baker calls Yordan Alvarez 'Grande.' Amen.
One day, national networks and streaming services will interrupt regularly scheduled programming to chronicle historic Yordan Alvarez at-bats.One day a giant statue of Yordan Alvarez — life-size — will be erected outside Minute Maid Park, the house where his legend was built.It may seem to be too early in his career to make such lofty proclamations. But if you don’t believe in Alvarez by now, that’s a you problem.
The Astros, who went on to beat the Mariners 4-2 in Game 2, would be in an 0-2 hole were it not for the sweet-swinging Cuban’s late-game heroics. Instead, they are one win from closing out the best-of-five series. For the record, when given a chance to wear a nickname on his jersey Yordan went with his preferred moniker, Yordan.
