This 45 minute video demonstrates two things. How great Pujols is. And the advantages of playing for a very good franchise like the Cardinals was... New contract... PS HR... 10 years later. Back to STL
My dad was at the Lidge game. One out away from the city's first World Series. In 1/100th of a second it went from the loudest building on earth to the quietest. So ghoulishly quiet allegedly people in the front 5 rows could hear Alberts cleats jogging in the infield clay it was that dead silent.
Unlike Barry bonds, Albert pujols was a superstar all the time, not just in the regular season. Barry didn't turn it on till his last postseason or two, and he needed steroids to do that. That's why I respect Albert above all the other goats in our era
Albert was the commensurate ambassador for baseball both on and off the field. He's the best, period. Proud to wear Cardinals gear anywhere on the planet!!!
The fact he has almost 50 minutes of Postseason home runs is telling of how damn good his career has been. It's been a joy seeing him dominate left handed pitching in 2022 and try to get 700.
Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds were major reasons why Pujols got so many pitches to hit. They were truly the MV3 of the Cardinals during their mid-2000's run.
But Rolen was starting to break down in 04 and 06, especially 06 when he was infamously benched in game 2 against the Mets and led to the rift between Rolen and LaRussa that never healed.
This guy was born to hit ,I don't think it's gonna matter with that eye hand coordination and that swing. McGwire and LaRussa knew pretty quickly ,and once he was called up he never went back down,the great of the greats it always sounds a little different and looks a little different the first game I saw him play Televised i saw it, I was like "where in the hell did they find this dude?? Look at that swing and patience and he's a damn rookie? If you watched alot of ball it was noticeable he was different
It gives me goosebumps every time I watch The Machine bat in his final year. I find myself standing in my own living room in front of the TV watching him hit - it's crazy. Thanks for all the memories, Albert.
The 3 HRs against the Rangers was one of my best baseball experiences. My son and I were sitting in a. bar in LA with our Cardinals hats on with about 30 Rangers fans. When Albert came up with 2 men on and the score 8-6 they all said, "Walk him". They said the same thing before his 2nd and 3rd homers, then left the bar.
I will always remember the 3 homerun World Series game… I was in a parking lot and it was playing on a projector and no one was paying attention to the craft fair or whatever was going on at the highschool
It was fun to watch this. He is pretty hot right now and I hope he gets to 700, but that's not what he's about. I'm sorry to see this vid end with the World Series in 2011, and no more, but I then remembered that he went to play for the Angels. People say that they wasted Mike Trout and they are wasting Shohei Ohtani, but they forget that they wasted Albert's time too when he was there.
Maybe the only one! This tank stunk it up for 8 of his 10 year 250 MILLION contract with us. How many rallies did he kill by either hitting into DP's or grounding out due to his plodding "running"....dude's as done as last nights cold pizza

Pujols only had 1 homerun for the Angels in the playoffs the entire time he was there? Is that correct? If it is I bet ol Arte Moreno is kicking himself. Paid the dude for 10/$240 mil for 1 playoff homerun. Sheeesh
That was the only time the Angels made the postseason since signing Pujols before the 2012 season. Pujols broke down physically and the Angels never had good pitching. Mike Trout could only do so much, similar to Jordan w/o Pippen, etc., but those Bulls teams at least made the playoffs.
Can Pujols pass Ruth for regular season and postseason combined homeruns? Ruth has 729, Pujols 719. Pujols has 10 regular season games left, and if the cardinals go deep in the postseason could have 12-17 postseason games. So 22-27 games to do it.
I mean it’s a cool video title but he only has 19 playoff home runs it’s not crazy or anything. Though he did have 3 in ONE WORLD SERIES GAME, and he was already on the decline at that point tbh.
