Aaron Judge sends classy message to AL MVP Jose Altuve

Astros second baseman Jose Altuve beat out Yankees rookie Aaron Judge to win the American League MVP, and it wasn't close. Voters placed Altuve on 27 of 30 first-place ballots, and he had 405 points to second-place Judge's 279.

While it might've been a little tough to lose to Altuve after the Yankees lost to the Astros in Game 7 of the ALCS, Judge was quick to congratulate the 5-foot-6 star.

The 25-year-old wrote to World Series champ Altuve: "M-V-P!!! Nobody more deserving than you!! Congrats on an unforgettable 2017!!"

It's an awesome move by the young Yankees star.

This also gives us an excuse to look at a bunch of incredible photos of "5-foot-6" Altuve next to 6-foot-7 Judge.
