As soon as the Houston Astros announced the limited-edition Jose Altuve bobblehead night, the response from fans was immediate—and overwhelming. Within hours, ticket sales surged online and even prompted resale prices to skyrocket on secondary markets. Hundreds of fans began camping outside Minute Maid Park 24 hours ahead of first pitch, determined to secure one of the first 10,000 bobbleheads featuring Altuve in his iconic World Series pose. “I’ve been watching Altuve since I was a kid—this is a must-have,” said longtime fan Carla Martinez, who drove in from San Antonio just for the giveaway. Team officials said this was the fastest-selling promotion since the 2022 championship celebration. The bobblehead features a gold-trimmed base and a sound chip that plays Altuve’s signature walk-up song. Even Altuve himself took to Instagram to share excitement, calling the design “fire” and thanking the fans for their loyalty. On game day, the energy inside the park was electric. Altuve didn’t disappoint either—he hit a leadoff homer, adding more magic to an already memorable night. The Astros ended up winning 7-3, and by the next morning, unopened bobbleheads were listed for over $150 online. It was a perfect night for Houston’s faithful.
