I put this off for long enough. Pujols is my guy. Where would this team be without this guy? I mean, where would we have been 3 years ago and beyond...? Really.
I remember reading an article about him by Bernie way back when. And then he didn't travel north. And then Bonilla got hurt and he came up. I put him on my fantasy team just as quick as I could and in that Colorado series he didn't really do anything, so I benched him against Randy Johnson. that was the game that Ankiel pitched too. I benched him as well

The guy, over all this time, has made me come to believe that he is the player that I get to talk about in years to come with newer generations of Cardinal fans in my family. I am lucky. I get to remember this stuff. And with Pujols there won't be a lot that to forget.
I went to a game a few years back. Pujols was playing 1b. I was coming back from the bathroom and our seats were 2nd row behind the Cards dugout. Pujols caught a foul ball for the 3rd out, and I instinctively yelled "PUJOLS! YOU ROCK!"


Anyway, people can complain about his money and whatnot, but I won't. I don't have it in me to be logical about money when it comes to him. I just know that I want him to be a Cardinal forever. It's the kid in me.
I dont' think I will ever meet him. And I don't care. But if I do, he's one of those kinda players that I have no idea what to say to him. I might turn white as a freaking ghost and faint or something. He is greatness.
I saw him in the All Star Softball game yesterday. I had to leave halfway through, but I did get to see one atbat (not against Finch). He almost deposited it. Gosh, that swing is beauty.
Beauty.
