Albert Pujols is a Dodger. Here are 5 Hall of Famers who were briefly Cubs

Admit it — Albert Pujols looks weird in blue, and wearing No. 55. He spent 20 seasons with teams whose primary color is red, the Cardinals and Angels, and when his career ends — likely sometime later this summer — his time with the Dodgers will be an afterthought, although “LOS ANGELES N.L.” will be dutifully inscribed on his Hall of Fame plaque.

This sort of thing happens for a lot of future Hall of Famers. Among others, Steve Carlton and Ken Griffey Jr. spent a bit of time as White Sox, though if you blinked you probably missed that.
