Albert Pujols’ sons were pressing their father to take part in the All-Star Home Run Derby.
Alberto Jr. and Ezra got their wish.
Pujols, the Los Angeles Angels’ first baseman, says he talked with Major League Baseball and confirmed he will be one of the hitters for the event Monday in Cincinnati. The All-Star Game is the next night.
“I’m going to give it one last chance,” Pujols said Tuesday.
Pujols said he wanted to be a part of the competition after being picked for the AL All-Star team this week.
