Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu suddenly appeared at a highway rest stop. What happened?
In an interview ahead of Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the Texas Rangers held at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, USA on the 23rd (Korean time), Abreu introduced what happened the day before, which was a rest day.
The day before, a photo taken by Abreu at a highway rest area in Texas was posted on social media.
The place he visited is a rest area chain called ‘Buc-ee’s’, which has several stores mainly in the southern region, including Texas. Although it is a rest area, it has quite large stores.
When asked if he had been there, Abreu smiled and answered, “I did.”
I stopped by on the way to Houston by car from Arlington, Texas, where an away game against the Texas Rangers was held. “I was planning on stopping by when I was driving back here (Houston),” he said. He wanted to show the child something different. “The sandwiches there are really delicious,” he continued.
It takes about 4 hours to drive from Arlington to Houston. In the major leagues, this is a distance traveled by charter plane.
But Abreu traveled specifically by car this time. He said, “I didn’t drive it, my friend did. I wanted to let my child experience what this father experienced. “I am doing anything for my child,” he said, explaining why he traveled by car instead of plane.굿모닝토토
After taking some time off, he returns to the game today. Houston is ahead of the series with 3 wins and 2 losses, so if they win today, they can advance to the World Series.
“I think we’re in the best position we can be right now,” he said. “Anything can happen tomorrow, so I will work hard to finish the series today,” he said, strengthening his resolve.
He debuted in the big leagues in 2014 and is attempting to advance to his first World Series in Houston.
He, who is one win away from advancing to the World Series, said, “I will enjoy today. I will go out and have fun running and competing. “I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible,” he said about his attitude toward the game.
