The Story Behind Albert Pujols

Few hitters in the history of baseball have ever inspired fear like him, a generational talent whose prowess at the plate made him a threat from the moment he arrived in the big leagues, and fueled one of the most indelible careers – and jaw-dropping peaks – the game has ever seen.

Puljos is one of those athletes who, if as a fan you don’t admire and respect him, know professional sports probably aren’t for you.

There must be something in the Dodger Stadium water that agrees with Albert. He looked completely revitalized last year after joining them, in particular with his body language and energy. He looked like he enjoyed playing baseball again for the first time in years.

Then after the All Star game this year at Dodger Stadium, he goes on an absolutely unbelievable tear. I’m am so happy for him and the Cards fans. That he and those fans are sharing this in the final games of his career is one of those rare, real life happy endings.

His 10 straight seasons of 30 home runs 100 RBIs and 300 batting average will never be toped again. And what pisses me off is he had in 2011 like legitimately a .299 batting average in like 98 or 99 RBIs so he basically did it 11 straight years as a kid. I absolutely hated that he left St. Louis. But I guess since they didn't have to play them for so long, it really did give the city time to heal. And when he finally did come back I was at the first Angels game and it was incredible. It felt like a playoff game. And the fact that he's retiring this year is makes me feel so old

Growing up idolizing him, one of the greatest ever. Period.

I don’t know if I could ever fully explain just how amazing Albert was at the plate to someone who never saw it. Prime Pujols was on another planet

I’ve never watched a day of baseball in my life, but I’ll always watch whatever content is uploaded on this channel.

Congratulations Albert Pujols and thank you for shining up the sport of baseball, and for bringing all fans of any team together in one voice. Happy 700!

I spent so much time as a kid trying to copy his stances and swing. One of my favorite players growing up and of all times.

The things about Albert's recent homeruns, is that they've all been pretty clutch

I am 41 and a lifetime Beisbol fan. Pujols is the Man.

I was 10 when Pujols started MLB in '01. By 2003 I completely understood that there would likely be only a couple of players during a lifetime as good as he was. Been amazing to watch him finish his career up. Hope he gets to 700 but even if he already hit his last at 698, you know he is just out there having fun.

10:27 that is commonly referred to as the homerun that broke Lidge. He was never the same pitcher after that.

Wow great video 👏, usually I skip these kind of videos, but this had me really intrigued, it was simple and informative. A1

[dougphantom]

697 homeruns as of 9/11 2022 hoping for 700

[dannywiant]

he just a beast of baseball glad see him in 700 club

[Seanalbertt]

7:00 MAN that’s some old footage. Hearing St. Louis native now legendary broadcaster Joe Buck on local Fox Sports Midwest. That brings back some memories!

[charlesechols]

I remember getting to see him when I was a child going on field trips to Redbirds games

[ronaldwinker]

He left St Louis with a World Series ring and wants to leave the game with a ring that will mark the 12th World Championship for the Cardinals. Stan told him, "Stay in St Louis and break all my records." He left but NOW he is HOME! and it's 2011 again!

[craigwheeler]

2001 had 2 awesome rookies. Albert in the NL, and Ichiro, the AL MVP. Ichiro only hit slightly higher for his average in 2001 than Pujols did, but Albert's power was on another level. I'd say Pujols was the better of the 2 players.

[chaost]

3:01 Pujols being older than what he was is something I do think is a very strong possibility but that's something that's never really moved me. I don't really have an issue with a kid lying about their age to escape a horrible situation hoping to find a better life. If it turns out he's actually around 45-48 that makes his career even more impressive imo.
