A Minnesota Twin has risen to fame during the postseason during his favorite month. Carlos Correa is one such man who has had to handle the strange emotion of playing against his former team. That doesn’t seem like a big deal for him as he crushes them! Sunday’s Game 2 of the AL Division Series is proof. While he sets the stage for another battle against the Astros, his wife takes a moment to pump him up with a sweet yet strong gesture. 

Carlos Correa whose postseason is turning out to be way more eventful than his average regular season, much like his time at Houston, has won many hearts. Puerto Rican player’s latest feat among the rest was hitting 63 RBI surpassing legendary players’ records. Even the Twins’ manager has a lot to say about the humility-packed Correa. 

A Sweet Gesture From Wife

Carlos’s wife, Daniella Rodriguez, took to Instagram to update a story dedicated to the might of his husband. The story she put up was a post taken from the official Instagram page of the Minnesota Twins. In the post, the Twins’ manager Rocco Baldelli praised the 29-year-old. “When the lights come on.. There are some guys, there are giants in the light. He is one of them. That’s what he is”, said the manager. It’s interesting to know how his monstrous talent came to be. 

This Puerto Rican who was the first overall draft selection in 2012 went on to become a great hit in Astros. They made five ALCS appearances and had one World Series win, thanks to the outstanding playoff performances of the 2015 AL Rookie of the Year. All this lasted until 2022, when he moved to the Minnesota Twins. And what he has done for them this postseason is herculean.
