Houston Astros' Jose Altuve ejected for removing shoe, sock

Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was ejected for removing his shoe and sock in an effort to convince an umpire that he hit the ball into his foot during a dramatic extra-innings win over the San Diego Padres.

The odd scene unfolded in the top of the ninth inning of the 4-3 triumph Tuesday at Petco Park in San Diego.
