Love the quote from the Pittsburgh pitcher: "That's like Superman playing baseball."
I'll post some photos in a little bit.
St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols stands with "Down Syndrome Association starting line up" first baseman Brendan Hodges before the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday, Sept. 3, 2006 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Pujols is the events honorary chairman.
It seems to me that in this day of drugged up athletes and bad boy athletes, the story of Pujols has gone under-reported. He is truly one for the ages.
Ruthian indeed...when I heard about this in the morning, I just shook my head and smiled. THIS guy is the real Big Poppy...
I can't stand his perpetual smirk, and his lumbering out of the box after he crushes the ball, but the dude can play. No doubt about that. But there's no way he's really 26.
