Jose Altuve the Mighty Mouse

Jose Altuve is a Major League baseball player and he is the shortest active ball player. He is 5"5 and  the captain of his team the Houston Astros. Altuve was turned down many times by baseball scouts because of his height. Many scouts would not even allow Jose to tryout because he was only 5"5. Altuve was not given a fair shot, his talent and skills were amazing but all that was judged was his height. There were many doubters and non-believers for Altuve's Major League chances.Jose did not let any of the doubt or adversity get to him. He was so determined and willing to make the Majors. He tried out for a pro Venezuelan team and the scouts told him that no matter what he would not make it because of his height and that he should not bother to come back to day 2 tryouts. Jose dominated in day 1 and still showed up to day 2 and was clearly the best at the tryout. He made the Venezuelan team and then ended up going the the MLB. At the major league level, Altuve has shut up all of  the naysayers. The second baseman is probably the best contact hitter in the game today. He has made the All-Star team three years in a row, and in the 2014 season he lead the league in three categories; hits, stolen bases, and average. The mighty mouse is another example of overcoming the obstacles that life will throw at you and mentally stay tough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inkBqvrzYhQ
