Jose Altuve

Jose Altuve is the second baseman for the Houston Astros in Major League Baseball. The 5’6” Venezuelan may be short, actually the shortest active player in the league, but that has not stopped him from becoming successful. In his ten years in the league, he’s become six-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger awardee, and AL MVP and World Series champion in 2017 on top of many other accolades. He and his wife, Giannina Elizabeth Cimetta Sandoval, met as teenagers, both of them hailing from Maracay, the “Garden City.” Nina is not your typical WAG who enjoys travelling, as she’s a certified bio analyst who got her degree from the University of Carabobo in Venezuela. They would marry in November 2006 and welcome their first daughter, Melanie Andrea, in 2016, and are expecting their second.
