The incredible Albert Pujols

- His big bat has made the St. Louis Cardinals' slugger one of the top 10 players in baseball history. But to people with Down syndrome and the poor of his native Dominican Republic that he helps, he means a lot more than home runs and RBI. Bob Simon reports.
Albert Pujols is undoubtedly one of the most kind hearted people I have ever heard of.
One of my favorites of all time
The epitome of the "Good Samaritan". Thanks Mr. Pujols
This is what I'm talking about! A real hero and role model. I remember looking up to Dale Murphy as a kid. This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you, Pujols, for your drive and heart. God bless you, sir.
Wow what a human beings God bless you Albert pujol
Truly a class act. One of the most selfless players in the big leagues right now. I wish all professional athletes would strive to be this way.
Watching this story once was not enough, I had to watch it twice. I am proud to be a Dominican.
This guy's a living saint. Got so much respect for the guy wow
Wow... i knew he had a daughter with Down syndrome but I did not know that he was not the biological father! Just that alone makes him a real man.
How about now?

@@EE-ie9gm it means laughing out loud
@@blink182lives100 but why?
Sir Albert is incredible! May he continue to be the face of baseball, and keep it a positive influence upon our kids.
No player has ever dominated the league the way he did. Wether a pritcher or a hitter. When he had a couple games where he went ofor you knew it wouldn't last. The dudes hand eye coordination is second to none. his power to all sides of the field is second to none. Top 5 of all time
When your a future hall of famer, one of the greatest to ever play, and their talking more about your character...thats something!
albert pujols is an amazing person on and off the field
There's has never been and there's will never be a baseball player like A. Pujol period.
You're insane.
@@xxTandJ nope. He's right
I'm a huge fan of Albert Pujols and the Angels... Pujols is one my top 2 favorite baseball players ever and seeing this I realized he isn't just an amazing baseball player but he's an all around nice guy. God Bless You Albert Pujols.. on and off the field!!
P.S. GO ANGELS!❤️⚾️
The greatest player we will ever see in our lives. Without question, without doubt.
Man I remember that home run he hit in Houston. That shit was legendary.
Whochachi Lidge was never the same.
Jim Brashear Sure wasn't
Whochachi Remember it live on FOX like yesterday. He took Lidge's soul
Some say that ball is still going to this day.
Whochachi
They shoulda walked em
i dont care if he left the Saint Louis cardinals, i still love him
I was so close to him when he left it hurts so much he is my best friend and yes i am a down syndrome person Albert pujols is a person just like us but i don't understand why people don't like him i love so much is a person and he is gift to me i love his son AJ Pujols he is amazing person someday i will like go to his Foundation. I love him
@@laurenhennicke6435 he’s coming home!
St.louis still loves you man
I still love Pujols, even since he left my city of Saint Louis.
If only every celebrity would be like him.. Imagine how much of a change that would be for earth!:)
Wow. Truly an inspiring man.
You got that right!
I can’t explain how much I love this guy, I’m his fan #1
Wow he is just such a nice guy...i hope he keeps on keeping on...
when i watched this interview, the only thing i can think of is that this guy is a really good person.....and second, he's a really great baseball player.....God bless his soul!
That last thing brought a tear to my eye. God bless Albert
An amazing player and an even better person. Even though he doesn’t play in St.Louis anymore, he will always be welcomed back and will forever be a cardinal.
I'm yet to meet a baseball fan that says they hate Albert Pujols, as a player and human being.
I do.
You hate him as a human being? He is probably the best person off the field in all of baseball. Perfect role model for young kids everywhere.
I mean... I hate him as a baseball player only sorry. He betrayed the city that loved him just for money. Sounds like someone else *cough* *cough* LeBron *cough* *cough*
Lol don't get me started on Lebron. But Albert wanted to stay in St. Louis for his entire career. They only offered him a 5 year deal though, when he still had another 10 good years in him. He went with the Angels because they offered him 10 years and showed how bad they wanted him. Also Los Angeles is a better place for his charity to grow and gain support and donations it needs to help as many people as possible.
He didn't do it for the money St. Louis was giving him a good contract
I live in st louis and even though he left us because someone else offered more money now that I see this I bet he spends most of his money on other people wow what a great guy
thank you albert and god bless you!!! You are one of the greatest that ever lived
This guy is so awesome!
Excellent, good role model, baseball needs this.
America needs this.
The world needs this.
Definitely teared up at the end there. I'm a Met fan, but I hope he stays a Cardinal for life. What an incredible human being.
I first became a Cardinals fan when McGwire was heading out and Pujols was coming in. Watching Pujols play was a huge part of my childhood. I was sad to see him leave, but he'll always be one of the greatest Cardinal players ever and a personal favorite of mine.
Wow, Albert. I really didn't know he is such a great human being. So impressed.
I remember when the Cardinals almost passed up on him but we're very proud to have him on our home team. What a huge mistake that would have been. He is humble, a hard worker and a community leader. If we had more people like him the world would be a much better place.
No words express how I feel about this man now. I smiled through the whole interview, great man and a great role model for all those kids.
This gives me chills.
Albert is an absolute legend!! Now that he hit 3k hits and when he gets to 2k RBI, hopefully by the end of the year, he'll cement himself into the top 5 hitters of all time!!! Class act!
As a lifelong Cardinals fan, some of the best memories of my life are due in large part to Big Al. God bless him. 🙏🏻⚾️❤️
Even as a St. Louisan and Cardinals fan, I couldn't stay angry at him for long. I'm gonna miss him...even as good as he is, his departure isn't nearly enough to stop the Cardinals from being a contending team...they won the World Series mostly without him. However, Cardinals baseball will not be the same without one of the best players of all time. I'm fighting back tears as I watch this video. This is the hardest pill I've had to swallow as a sports fan.
Muy orgulloso de albert estoy yo como dominicano sigue a si man es lo que verdaderamente cuenta y sigue dando palos que la bendición de Dios esta contigo
Why people don't more people don't look up to men like this is beyond me. And inspiring man!
Im so happy and privileged to have such an amazing player and person on my favorite team i hope he stays in st louis for the rest of his career! #5 for life
We moved from St. Louis this year to California. I'm looking forward to seeing Albert play with the Angels in 2014. This 60 minutes story just touches the surface of what Albert, Deidre, and the Pujols Family Foundation has done and continues to do. With the stain of PED use in baseball this man STILL represents all that is good, on and off the field, about the sport and its players.
Good reason to move there.
What an incredible man! Other athletes should learn from him...I just became a lifetime Pujols fan!
Wow, Albert Pujols is now one of my favorite players in the MLB. Albert your awesome.
Albert is such an amazing, inspiring guy. He will always be my idol.
What a incredible human being. Much love
I knew I always liked this dude for a great reason. I never looked into any of it. What a good f’n man! That’s how I do it! From the heart not for the camera!!
Came to YT to rewatch his 696th n down a rabbit hill that I didn’t know existed! Awesome. Great achievements for an even greater man. Respect.
What a great man! I am inspired.
Me too.
just scrolling and reading comments it seems like a lot of people dont like him why? he is an amazing baseball player he does charity work he is really nice what is their not to like about him? if this does get read by someone who does not like him please reply to this and tell me why
Haters always hating on greatness.
St. Louis fans still mad he left I guess lol
+pat m and i always will be mad! Hes missing all the winning action with the Cards now though ;)
+THCBaked420 Anytime there is a fantastic superstar player, there will always be a bunch of people who mindlessly hate them for no reason. That's just how being a superstar works. You just pay those people no attention because it's not like their whining means anything.
I hate him for what he has done his entire career to the Astros... but dammit do I respect him.
Incredible 702 today. The best 🇩🇴 player ever on or off the field!! You deserve it Albert!
I remember 10 years ago I hope he could get the record of home runs . At 616 he is 140 away . I pray that this good man hold the HR record
This video sent chills through my body the whole time it was playing. Albert Pujols is not only a legendary baseball player, but a legendary human being.
You know your a great person when your as good as he is at baseball and they are talking about his work off the field the whole time!
God Bless baseball and God bless Albert Pojuls
I'm a die hard Cubs fan but that's never stopped me from being a die hard Pujols fan! He's such an amazing guy!
All I have are the good memories of Albert. I don't care what anyone else says, he is and will forever be, a St. Louis Cardinal.
Im a Cubs fan and Albert Pujols has just become one of my idols!
Man! I cried...
He's a very thankful man
THANK YOU! another person that knows the true heart Albert has for people on an off the field.
He never forgot where he came from that's the most important thing
i'm a cubs fan and he is going down as one of the greatest ever to play the game.. amazing person off the field too even though he says that's not his intentions he is still a great person
he's a great person
If he doesn't end up with the all time Home Run, RBI, Runs, or Hits records when he retires, I'll be extremely shocked. I saw his three HR game a few nights ago, and I was bewildered. The man is incredible.
Great job Albert that is amazing what you're doing I am a father with a son that has Down syndrome that originally caught my eye in the beginning of the story but your life is what I believe baseball is all about and the gift that you've given so many is amazing thank you thank you thank you keep up the good work I'll be following you even more
My favorite player growing up, and I was a dodger fan. No doubt the greatest RH hitter of all time
i cried....amazing
as much as I can't stand the fact that albert left the city of st louis and the cardinals...his class and his itch to help the less fortunate make me wish him nothing but the best. He gave all thos kids memories for the rest of their lives and he helped give cardinal nation 3 NL championships and 2 world series rings...god bless u albert
This seals the deal for me that Pujols is my new favorite player in the game today. Jeter's selflessness is a close second.
One of the greatest players to ever do it
1:38 darn near made me cry..what a great man!
Such an amazing player and human being! And if he doesn't stay with the Cardinals after this season I will still cheer him on where ever he goes (even if it's with the cubs)
God bless you Albert!
We need more athletes like this. GREAT STORY !
ALBERT PUJOLS IS THE MAN!!!😭👌🏽
This is why he is, and will always be my hero.
Albert will always be the greatest Cardinals ever
Stan Musial and Bob Gibson are also at the top. I wouldn't call him the "best" I would say if they had a mount rushmore of their own 1000% he is on it.
Great respect. Best player of 00's.
I like how people thought he would suck now just because of a slump he was having. now he has 9 homers and the Angels are on a 8 game winning streak. this dude is awesome and one of the nicest athletes ever. PUJOLS!!!
A CLASS ACT..we need more peeps like ALBERT..
he reminds me of me back in the day, 500 homeruns ago
Wow Albert is not only one of the best baseball players, he is great human being.
Every single professional athlete should take notes from how he lives his life he is a true icon and incredible man on an off the feild
this video is about to make me cry!!!!!!!! alberto pujols.......DOMINICAN REPUBLIC IS SO PROUD OF YOU...........DIOS TE BENDIGA SIEMPRE............OJALA Y ALGUN DIA LEAS ESTO
We are truly blessed to have Albert in LA.... Welcome!
its good that he helps anddoes all this things for others because its his passion, and not for him to look a part in society.
he is my hero to..
Great story about Albert, I definitely have more respect for him now.
Me,too,Greg.
Refreshing, inspiring, and worth sharing.
What an inspiration. My HERO is now on MY TEAM. This is a dream come true.
albert is one of the best players on, and off, the field, whether he is with my fav team or some la guys fav team. ya he chose the team that gave him more money but he is a great overall person and his decision was probably for the best for him/his family. hard work+skill+leader+heart=pujols
What a beautiful Papi!
Albert Pujols is THE Man! on and off the field. I definitely look up to him.
What a incredible player and incredible man. I admire a guy like this going back home to help the people Dominic Republic he brought America Doctors to help the sick people and mattress for the kids. That was very nice that he gave bat that he hit 400th home run he gave the bat the boy.p
Incredible story. An absolute monster on the field and a true class act off of the field.
They dont make em like this too often
Nothing but respect#greatman
I'm a Giants fan but Albert Pujols will always be a hero of mine. God Bless King Albert.
THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE 600 HOME RUN CLUB
I like the most when he said that he dont smoke drink and usually dont swear what a great role model
personally, i strongly dislike baseball, basketball fan mostly. But, as soon as i saw this, it gave my goosebumps down my whole body. What a great guy, he must've made them the happiest people alive. love the dude now.
complete respect. My dream has always been to be that good, but he is above and beyond.
Good guy. Albert God bless you for helping others.
