It was a move no fan ever saw coming, Albert Pujols leaving the St. Louis Cardinals for the Los Angeles Angels. Let’s be honest, no fan saw Pujols leaving St. Louis for any other team, but he did.
Many fans are still bitter about Pujols leaving to sign a 10-year, $265 million contract. He was supposed to be a Cardinal for life, he couldn’t leave. Pujols wasn’t the man, no, we already had one of those in Stan Musial. However, Pujols was, and in his own right still is, a machine.
That move was one that will stay with fans forever.
