home. So a happy ending,right producer Anthony Dan And this is really
cool. This past Sunday, therewas a fan who was at the Astros
Mariners game up in Seattle. Hername is Amy Franz. She managed to
find and pick up Jordan Alvarez's soloshot in the fourth inning, but it
ended up being a big day forJordan for it quite a few reasons.
It marked his twentieth home run ofthe season, but it was also part

(02:54):
of a historic performance, as Jordanwent on to hit for the cycle.
It's where a player hits a single, a double, a triple, and
home run in the same game.It's about as common as a no hitter
in baseball, so definitely a bigdeal. Amy posted a pick of her
with the ball on X tagging theAstro saying, this ball is worth more
to him than me as he hitfor the cycle, please find a way

(03:15):
for me to get it to him. While she was finally able to connect
and meet Jordan after the game,received an autograph baseball from the Astro as
a thank you. Really cool tosee for Amy, and I know Jordan
appreciated it too, because Dane,it marked just the tenth cycle achieved in
all of Astro's history. That isso great, isn't it fun? I
love that and I love this too, And I've stayed at this incredible hotel.

(03:36):

recognition from Travel and Leisure magazine,the Lancaster Hotel at seven oh one Texastory.
