Houston Astros’ Carlos Correa dedicates home run to young fan with cancer

October 14, 2019 By Frank Miles

Carlos Correa saved the day for the Houston Astros  to give his team a 3-2 win Sunday that tied the AL Championship Series with the New York Yankees at one game apiece.

For a young fan battling cancer, as FOX 26 Houston reported, it made his day as well.

Last week, Correa and his fiancée Daniella Rodriguez visited Jalen, a cancer patient who attends her old high school.

In an Instagram post, she detailed the special meeting: “Nothing else in this world is as rewarding as this. Carlos and I got to meet this special guy today🙏🏼 Jalen is a fellow Laredoian like myself AND attends my old high school 🤟🏼As soon as I heard about Jalen being in Houston I made sure we did everything possible to meet him 🙏🏼 You are our hero Jalen! Keep fighting we’re right behind you cheering you on🧡 thank you @mdandersoncancercenter for letting us visit some of your patients🙏🏼 #LonghornPride”

Correa later wrote on an Instagram story, as the news outlet reported, that he would use his baseball skills to make Jalen feel better: “NEXT HOME RUN I HIT WILL BE FOR YOU… WHEN YOU SEE ME POINTING, I’LL BE POINTING AT YOU.”

New York’s bullpen buckled in the 11th inning when Correa led off with a home run off J.A. Happ, the Yankees’ ninth pitcher. The series is now tied, 1-1.

Game 3 is set for Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
