But while Pantoja-Adams was understandably nervous, Altuve's cool demeanor eased the encounter.

"I was so nervous that I couldn't get my camera to work," she said. "He took it out of my hand and said, 'Here, why don't you let me take the picture?'"

But most importantly, she says Altuve was limping and walking slow as he recovers from recent knee surgery.

Get well soon, Altuve!
