Astros bullpen catcher shows grace in defeat

It’s never easy when your season ends — especially in the final game of a playoff series.
We’re sure it was hard for Houston Astros bullpen catcher Javier Bracamonte as well, except he didn’t show it.
After Astros outfielder George Springer flew out to Kansas City right fielder Paulo Orlando to end the game and Houston’s season in Game 5 of the NLDS Wednesday, Bracamonte showed great sportsmanship and class.
Facebook user David Dahmer, a Royals fan, was the first to bring it to the public’s attention.
Pretty classy gesture from a guy you probably hadn’t heard of before you read this story.
