Thank you for mentioning this. The game you mention is one of the most insane things I've ever seen in the playoffs. His 3 HR game gets lost in that series of crazy moments but it's one of the best offensive performances of anyone in baseball post season history. Seeing that happen live it was like watching a human surpass what's known. He had 14 total bases that game, which is a record.
@@GoUpAcademyUPI If we’re talking overall career, he’s miles better than both of them. And overall in the postseason, he has better numbers than Big Papi too. Papi is a legend and I won’t deny that, but out of his 3 notable postseason runs 2 of them were great and 1 was above average. Pujols was consistently GREAT in almost every postseason series he was in. Manny is a different story though lol he was just a beast.
What’s insane about his three home run WS game is that he hit his first home run in the sixth inning and was able to hit two more without it going extra innings.
10:35 I was so annoyed at Leiter lol. I imagine he has a time limit he is under so he has to hurry Pujols up but come on lol. He asks him a question so let him answer.
Not enough time and the greats in baseball are just treated differently. You are really looked at, as a great. And #5 is definitely that. So I think excitement was part of it.
His attitude and mentality is what made him a legend. Lots of players with talent, very few that have that kind of mental strength and positivity. He was able to stay relaxed and collected and seemingly always knew what pitch was coming.
Pujols as a Cardinal is the second best hitter of all time. Maybe even the best hitter. The fact he ended up with the stats he did despite being horrible in LA just goes to show you how much of a beast he was in STL. His first stint especially. He might’ve had the best 11 year stretch of all time. He talked about in the video about how he had slumps but it’s hard to imagine looking at his numbers in STL that he had slumps lol.
I'm leaning on the side of him being the best hitter for the Cardinals. He played in an era where he faced the best talent on the planet. The Pujols slump was basically him going 1 for 4 in a game.
@@sam0b007Nah this argument is absolutely bonkers. Pujols leads Ichiro, over both of their careers, in practically EVERY SINGLE MAJOR offensive stat. He has a better career OPS, OPS+, OBP and SLUG%, has more HRs, RBIs and he even leads your “best pure hitter of all time” in OVERALL HITS. And to so arrogantly argue Ichiro being, once again, YOUR “best pure hitter of all time” is also ignorant. ESPECIALLY when Tony Gwynn, who is universally known as the best pure contact hitter the game has ever seen, leads Ichiro in EVERY SINGLE OFFENSIVE STAT THAT PUJOLS DOES ALSO. OBP, OPS, OPS+, BA, SLUG%, RBI’s, HR’s, AND H’s. Am I trying to say that Ichiro isn’t great? Absolutely not. He’s easily top 3 pure CONTACT hitters ever and was one of my favorite players to watch growing up. But unfortunately, hitting is about overall PRODUCTION, which includes everything I just listed. And statistically, Ichiro didn’t produce NEARLY as much as Pujols did. And I don’t care that he played half of his career in Japan, “what if” points don’t mean anything when discussing TANGIBLE evidence of the things we’re talking about. Quite literally the ONLY thing that Ichiro has on Pujols or even Tony Gwynn is his defense, and his speed. That’s it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but to insinuate that Ichiro is a greater overall player than Pujols because he’s only better at defense is just stupid. I’d love to read how you’re going to try and avoid real statistics with your reply, if you even do reply.
My favorite pujols stat is that in 2006, he practically had a 1 to 1 home run to strikeout ratio with 49 homers and only 50 ks. Ichiro who we think of as the ultimate contact hitter had 71 ks that same season
This was around the Time where pujols was as feared as Barry bonds if a runner was on or in scoring position pujols got walked every time like bonds did that's goat stuff 💯
Pujols should have won the MVP that year. If voters were using modern analytics at the time, it would have been a no brainer. The stats are pretty glaring in Pujols favor except for homeruns. Howard had an amazing year but that era in Phillies baseball was basically someone could close their eyes and hit a home run at Citizens Bank Park. The voters of that era only really cared about home run totals.
i like how he said instead of slumps he just gave credit to the pitches, thats a good way to stay somewhat positive through a slump, also i doubt even albert knows how old he actually is, its changed many times lmao
When Albert left st Louis i kept up on his stats for i knew one day he'd be at the top barring injuries. Wow what a career and even more what a great man ❤️🙏
Lifelong Cubs fan so I really should hate this guy....but I just can't. He constantly killed the Cubs but I have to respect the way he played the game and how, in his prime, he was one of the most feared right handed hitters EVER. You deserve the HOF my man.
I remember watching his 2005 NLCS Game 5 home run as a kid and thinking it was the highest I had ever seen a baseball hit. I had never seen anyone hit the ball up on to the railroad tracks at Minute Maid park.
I was in high school when pujols was in his prime. Ken Griffey Jr. & Bonds Had the sweetest swing, but Every Coach would say watch Pujols. His swing is right out the how to teach everyone to bat book. He is one of the few batters that i would say had perfect form.
After being around a bunch of star hitters at the Home Run Derby, he really woke up at the plate. I don't think the Cardinals would have won the Central Division without his offensive contributions
@@JobiWan144 Precisely. I did hear about his 700-home run chase, but being no.2 in OPS for a half season is crazy at his age and considering his trajectory
I know in the end it was meaningless, but his game 5 BOMB in Houston is one of the greatest post-season homeruns EVER. He absolutely destroyed that ball..... Pujols is the greatest hitter of the last couple generations......no PED allegations, 700+ HR / 3000+ Hits...just amazing.
this man made me and my fiends so happy for years it's kinda sad he left but he got the money and he earned it and stl owners don't pay good players i was shocked he came back and was awesome again
Would be AWESOME if Leiter would let him speak & finish what he’s saying. Jesus chill out and let the man speak. Was interested in hearing Pujols breakdown his at bats. But couldn’t get over Leiter interrupting.
“That’s a thing.” Indeed. Asks any pitcher. Listen to a pitcher, Al “, speak to the importance of the RBI. He mentioned how he had to be at his best against a player like Carter. Ask any pitcher when they have to bear down the most. When they have to throw their highest leverage pitches. When baserunners are in scoring position, and when facing boppers. Albert is one of the best hitters. Ever.
That first homer against Lidge, I was working in downtown Houston, not far from the stadium on the streets of Main and Congress. It was so loud one second, and the next you could jear a pin drop. The next day they were calling The Astro’s failures, and there was still a game 7. The media was already throwing in the towel. I used to hate that Pujoles was just a great person, and did great things for his country and people that needed help bc I wanted to not like him, but he made it impossible not to like him as a human being.
Man, I remember the first time I heard of this kid named Pujols was when I was playing fantasy baseball and a co-worker picked him up as a free agent a couple games after he got called up, he said to me this kid will be good. I think he got it right.
What's crazy about the homerun he hit against Lidge is that moment is more memorable than the Chicago White Sox winning their first title since 1917. EDIT: It's really cool the Red Sox and the Black Sox ended their long Championship struggles in back to back years.
If he's not in your top 5 all-time, I can respect that, if you have an argument. If, however, he's not in your top 10....then there's something wrong with you. Yes, he's better than Musial, Mantle and even better stats than Mays. He had 60+ more doubles than Aaron, he passed Ruth for RBI, is top 4 in homers, (and NEVER had a 50 homerun year. Think about that, for a second) and is top 3 in total bases. To me, that is an underrated statistic. During his prime, he was one of the toughest guys to strikeout. AS A POWER HITTER! You'll never see that again. His efficiency, was second to none.
Damn dude let him finish a sentence and plus show him go off of Randy Johnson and getting a hit off of clemens. Let him talk against the best pitchers.
Please come back Albert...Cardinals fans dont believe we have a real DH capable of hitting 30 homers in a year...And thats the truth, we just got the DH as a position 24/7, so instead of plug n play when a player is good offensively and we went to an AL team, its now an established need for the Cardinals like forever...But we arent built like an AL Club and we're currently rebuilding...The only way we'd make the playoffs is if you perform like you always have in STL...
To the day he retired he got booed every time he stepped up to the plate at Minute Maid because of that homer off of Lidge. That thing scarred our souls. 😂 Great player tho.

426 GIDP the all time leader...As a Angel fan who watched him kill rally after rally with his selfishness and refusal to come out of the line up. THIS is my highlight of this slug. Worst contract in the history of the Angels and that is saying something!
What do you expect? He played 22 years, was a right handed hitter(slower times to first), was slow, and put the ball in play a lot. If you're able to play long enough to set a record like that it says how valuable they are in other ways. Secondly if you look at his rebound with the Dodgers then with his second stint with the Cardinals it says more about the culture of the Angels than about Albert himself.
@@joerapo "What do I expect"? For 10 years at 25 million a year a whole hell of lot more than what he did. He had ONE, what I would call "St Louis" type year for the Angels and the rest were a complete disappointment. He was slower than Prince Fielder on the base paths and killed uncountable rallies. Not sure what Dodger "bounce back" you're referring to? He was there for 85 games, hit a whopping .254 and plugged up a roster spot of a player much more deserving
@@kendallevans4079 As an avid angels fan of 26 years, you’re an idiot if you thought that contract was EVER going to pay itself back LMAO. He was coming off of his 3rd worst STL season, was CLEARLY on the decline, and yet you expected him to continue his .300/30/100 career? Please lol
oh my god Leiter. LET HIM FINISH A SENTENCE.
IKR!
I would pay to see Al Leiter talk pitching while on amphetamines..

This dude is one of the most clutch players I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget his insane 3 HR game in the 2011 WS.
Not one of he’s the best
Walked into the stadium that night booed for my cards gear. walked out feeling like a million bucks

Not better than Big Papi or Manny Ramirez
@@GoUpAcademyUPI If we’re talking overall career, he’s miles better than both of them. And overall in the postseason, he has better numbers than Big Papi too.

So lucky to have gotten to watch this man’s entire career. Pujols is one of the greats!
Leiter asks Albert a question and then precedes to almost immediately cut him off as soon as he starts to answer lol
10:35 I was so annoyed at Leiter lol. I imagine he has a time limit he is under so he has to hurry Pujols up but come on lol. He asks him a question so let him answer.
It's just time limitation. He asked about this before in a interview that he sadly doesn't get enough time during segments like this.
Not enough time and the greats in baseball are just treated differently. You are really looked at, as a great. And #5 is definitely that. So I think excitement was part of it.
His attitude and mentality is what made him a legend. Lots of players with talent, very few that have that kind of mental strength and positivity. He was able to stay relaxed and collected and seemingly always knew what pitch was coming.
Lol Yadi throwing dirt on Pujols after the HR is hilarious
Pujols correcting Al about the Cutter in his 3rd HR just showed how focused Albert always was. He could hit 20Hrs today
I remember reading once that Albert was one of the best ever at guessing pitches. It's cool to hear that thought process from the man himself
Why do we have to wait 5 yrs to put this man into the HOF? The best of a generation, he should be in there the moment he retired.
Because tRaDiTi0n
He should’ve been there the moment he hit number 700. The world should’ve screeched to a halt to give this man the induction he deserves.

No might've that was the THE BEST start to any career of any hitter in history. His first 11 years were most great players entire career
I believe he hits 800 home runs if he never leaves STL
It would be amazing if this guy would sthu and let pujols speak
I hope Albert keeps being generous with his time like this. Hearing it from a modern day all-time LEGEND
My favorite pujols stat is that in 2006, he practically had a 1 to 1 home run to strikeout ratio with 49 homers and only 50 ks. Ichiro who we think of as the ultimate contact hitter had 71 ks that same season
None of the so called all stars today can do that.
Judge might hut 40 HR but he'll strikeout 200 times
That's a truly amazing fact
And fuckin Ryan Howard won the mvp with like 50hrs and 150ks
This was around the Time where pujols was as feared as Barry bonds if a runner was on or in scoring position pujols got walked every time like bonds did that's goat stuff 💯

Could watch Albert talk about his career all day. the best!!!
One of my favorite players, he watched more film on pitchers than any player in the mlb during his 2001-2011 batting clinic.
That three run homer was nuts. Will never forget it. What a stud.
i like how he said instead of slumps he just gave credit to the pitches, thats a good way to stay somewhat positive through a slump, also i doubt even albert knows how old he actually is, its changed many times lmao
love this comment.
All I know is he definitely wasnt 42 when he retired, which means he definitely is not 45 or whatever in this clip lol. He is for sure older
@BBallHistoric ever see pictures of him from high school? Dude looks like he's got 2 ex-wives and a mortgage.
2nd All time in RBI. Sweet Jesus. If it wasn’t for his last 8 years, He would have been GOaT for sure

Didn’t know Pujols was so good late last season. Living legend.
How could you not know? It was everywhere and historic.
Were you not even following sports last year?
@@OldBenKenobi2318 To be fair, most of the news surrounding Pujols last season concerned his home run chase specifically, not sabermetrics like OPS.

The ones that do strike out 150+
Stanton vs Judge
Judge hits, Stanton homers

@@kendallevans4079 As an avid angels fan of 26 years, you’re an idiot if you thought that contract was EVER going to pay itself back LMAO. He was coming off of his 3rd worst STL season, was CLEARLY on the decline, and yet you expected him to continue his .300/30/100 career? Please lol
