Crane, Altuve To Be Honored at 2023 Houston Sports Awards

Jim Crane will be receiving more hardware, this time for being the best sports executive in Houston.Outside of Houstom, national media still harbor ill will for the Houston Astros, and the two faces of the cheating scandal for them are owner Jim Crane and second baseman Jose Altuve, even though neither of them used the actual trash can scheme to hit baseballs. For Crane, the animosity is furthered, for some reason, by his decision to move on from GM James Click a month or so ago.

Crane has always been committed to giving back to the community. Under his leadership, the Astros Foundation has invested in youth baseball and softball, childhood cancer, military, homelessness, and domestic violence. In 2022, The Astros Foundation leaned in on support for the Uvalde community, including a 5-year commitment to revitalizing their little league fields and programming.

Then, there is Altuve, who you could argue is the most beloved athlete in the history of the city, certainly RECENT history to be sure, and who I would make a case for as the greatest Houston Astro of all time. It was announced that Altuve would be the recipient of the Sportsmanship Award : Along with his charitable contributions, Altuve is well-known for his spirit and determination on the field. Over the years, he has become a fan favorite, helping lead his team and the city to two World Series Championships. Since 2011, he has been honored as an 8x All-Star, 6x Silver Slugger Award winner, AL MVP, and ALCS MVP.
