'Class act': Fan offers home run ball to Yordan Alvarez, Astros slugger signs it for him instead
— reached out to tell Harrell that Alvarez, who is one of the charity's biggest supporters, would love to meet him and see the baseball.There was a minor problem. Although Harrell is a big Alvarez fan, he has an Alex Bregman jersey, but not one for No. 44. If he was going to meet the man who smashed a piece of history his way, he wanted to be wearing the slugger’s jersey, and since he was hoping to get it signed, it had to be authentic.
“I wanted him to take it, because that’s his baseball,” Harrell said. “He’s the one who hit it. He deserves it. I didn’t want to sell it or ask for anything in return, except for a chance to give him the ball, shake his hand and get him to sign my jersey.” “He told me, ‘No, that belongs to you because you got it.’ And he said, ‘I just wanted to sign it for you and take a picture with you,’” Harrell said. “He’s a real class act. The fact that he took some time to meet me on a day when I’m sure he’s got a lot on his mind right now. He’s the most loved man in Houston right now.
The Correa Family Foundation also hooked up Harrell and his family with tickets to Game 2, which was unexpected. With some time to spare before the game, Harrell hustled back to New Caney to lock the ball and his newly signed jersey in a safe and made it back to the ballpark with a couple hours to spare.
