On Saturday, MLB Network began their celebration of Albert Pujols’ career by replaying three games from his time with the St. Louis Cardinals. On Monday, they will show six more legendary games from his career.
The more that we continue to look back at Pujols’ career with the Cardinals, the more it doesn’t seem possible that one player was so good. Right from the time Pujols came up, he was an elite talent.
If you’ll remember, in his rookie year, Pujols batted a slash line of .329/.403/.610 with 37 homers and 130 RBI.
