An absolutely wild Thursday in Major League Baseball included allegations that the Houston Astros wore buzzers under their uniforms in the 2019 season to help them know which pitches were coming.
MLB said that it found “no evidence” of “wearable devices” during its investigation, but the spotlight was on Jose Altuve, the Astros second baseman, and a video showing him not wanting his teammates to tear off his jersey after a walk-off home run in the World Series.
His agent, Scott Boras, said that it was “the shyness of Jose Altuve” that was the reason why he didn’t want his jersey ripped off, the same thing Altuve told FOX’s Ken Rosenthal after the game:

That sent MLB fans into a frenzy — they found photos of Altuve without a shirt on. This doesn’t mean it’s fuel to the wearable device fire. It’s just an amusing response to his “shyness”:
