“I am also willing to donate either one of my thumbs”: Mark Wahlberg’s Shocking Offer For Jose Altuve After his Horrific Injury
After celebrating their World Series victory in November 2022, the Houston Astors are back on the field. With an attempt to defend their World Series title, the Astros are looking forward to being MLB’s champions yet again in 2023. But, this time it seems they have a major issue since their second baseman, Jose Altuve is injured. Nonetheless, the team seems to have sterling support from Mark Wahlberg.
The Hollywood producer and actor, Mark Wahlberg, known for his hatred towards New York Yankees, have made a shocking offer for Jose Altuve. Being a big Boston City representative, Wahlberg was invited on the opening day, when he not only supported with the traditional Play Ball but also offered his thumb to Altuve.
Mark Wahlberg’s Shocking Offer For Jose Altuve
Known for being a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox, Mark Wahlberg recently expressed his adoration towards Houston Astors. Invited during the Opening Day, Wahlberg gave the traditional Play Ball before the game. Expressing his hatred towards New York Yankees, the actor showered the Astors with his support. Willing to take down the Yankees at all costs, the Hollywood actors even made a shocking offer to the Astors.
Learning about Jose Altuve, Astors’ second baseman’s absence during the match, Mark Wahlberg went on to joke around and claimed to donate his thumb. Assuring his allegiance to Houston Astors, since the team previously defeated the Yankees, Wahlberg called them “Yankee killers”. Further, the actor even stated, “I am also willing to donate either one of my thumbs to Jose Altuve, for sure,”. Being a die-hard fan of baseball, and a true supporter of Houston Astors, Wahlberg wished for them to make a magnificent win.
Jose Altuve Suffers Injury Before The Season
As the 2023 championship approaches, it is becoming even more difficult for the Houston Astors to dream of sustaining their World Series title. With their second baseman Jose Altuve being injured, the team is currently standing with an unfortunate fate. Recalling the World Baseball Classic game between USA vs. Venezuela, Altuve suffered a fracture to his thumb during the match.
It was further reported Jose Altuve will require two months until he can resume his baseball activities. After accidentally hitting his thumb during the match, Altuve left the pitch immediately due to obvious pain. Further, being a high-profile player, his absence is making the team wonder about their World Series title. Altuve’s absence for two months seems like a major blow to the Astors since they are attempting to defend their title.
Although players are expected to replace Altuve, it is fair to acknowledge, barely a few would be up to the task.
