Think about what could have been. Think about what should have been.
Think about Albert Pujols hitting his 600th career home run…in St. Louis.
"It would have been a huge event here," said Bernie Miklasz, the longtime St. Louis columnist and radio host at the city's 101.1 ESPN.
Would have been. Could have been.
It's hard to think anything else regarding Pujols, even as he became the ninth player to hit 600 home runs with his Saturday night grand slam off ex-teammate Ervin Santana. It's better than thinking about the present, when Pujols is a good but hardly great player on a nowhere-near-great team.
