Teammates pour champagne over Altuve

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It was one of the great mysteries of the Astros playoff run. Jose Altuve revealed he wasn't a fan of the champagne showers after the team won the ALDS a few weeks ago.

For all the great shots of champagne and beer celebrations, Altuve was nowhere in sight when the team won a spot in a the American League Championship series in Boston.

Turns out, Altuve had his own way to celebrate --- nice and dry.

"For some reason I don't like champagne in my eye, so I hide in the corner. I celebrate, but from the outside. I like to look," Altuve said.

After the Astros punched their ticket to the World Series, the team finally got their shot to give Altuve a proper champagne shower.
