Pujols a blast from past for radio broadcaster

SEATTLE -- AutoZone Park in Memphis, Tenn., home to the Memphis Redbirds team that has long served as the Cardinals' Triple-A affiliate, recently replaced its right-field seats with grass. But one chair remains, painted bright red and stationed in the middle of the new lawn-seating area, to commemorate the landing spot of the Albert Pujols home run that won the Pacific Coast League championship in 2000.

Steve Klauke, called up from Triple-A to serve as the Angels' radio play-by-play man in Seattle this weekend, was on the other side.

Klauke was calling games for the Redbirds' opponent, the Salt Lake Buzz.
