Albert Pujols picks up award at Glenn Beck rally
By Gautham Nagesh - 08/28/10 12:40 PM ET
St. Louis Cardinals star first baseman Albert Pujols said he was honored and humbled to receive an award for his charitable work during the Restore Honor rally organized by Glenn Beck in Washington on Saturday.
Pujols and his wife Deidre are active in numerous charitable causes in the St. Louis area, most notably the Pujols Family Foundation which helps children and adults with Down Syndrome. The couple have a daughter, Isabella, who was born with the condition.
The family also organizes mission trips to Pujols’ native Dominican Republic. Pujols credited his faith for driving him to help others.
“As long as I’m alive, I’m going to continue to do the best that I can to represent Jesus Christ,” Pujols said. “Twelve years ago I made the best decision of my life and that was following Jesus Christ.”
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa introduced Pujols, who is the reigning National League Most Valuable Player, calling him a hero both on and off the field. He said Pujols’ first ten years in the game have been historic, but not as impressive as his commitments off the field.
“In reality, I think most of us will agree that real-life heroes are hard to find. In fact to many, especially young people, our heroes are a product of movies, TV, and fiction books. But we do have real life heroes, and one of them is our Hope award winner Albert Pujols,” La Russa said.
“What separates Albert is his total commitment to his life in and out of baseball. His commitment to his family, faith and also his tireless, in- and out-of- season commitment to the community.”
God bless him .. how wonderful to see this giving man honored.
Heck, there are 127,000 watching the live stream on Facebook alone. Amazing.
It won’t work.
They will not be able to produce the visuals to support it. Trying to equalize the honor rally and Sharpton’s BS rally will fall apart in a matter of days.
Rush never mentions Beck, will not say his name neither will Sean Hannity—competition
I hear ya loud and clear on that one!!!
Crazy busy...work...work...work. Also had a couple of visitors this month.
And how are you and yours?
“Must be a big crowd, because they violated the airspace to get a shot of it”
LOL!
Rush has certain subjects which he avoids or does not cover.
Homosexual marriage is one of them.

Beck just said about a air craft fly over “this must be a big crowd because they violated the airspace.”
If only they knew of what is going on at the Mall.
The media will probably not focus on what they say at Sharptons rally, they will probably focus on Sarah saying, “Some want to transform America, we want to restore the honor of America.” and say it was a political event, and a slam on Obama.
Liberal Fairfax County closed west bound I66 yesterday down to one lane. You know why.
Rush like most in radio doesn't like to build up his competition. He seldom mentions them.
Sorry eastbound. They were actively trying to keep people out
Yes! Just saw Pastor John Hagee. Awesome!
Who’s this guy in the pink shirt?
Should we recognize him?
He is waving like he is a “conservative personality”.
LOL....you are so right!
The contrast between the race-baiting Sharpton’s rally and the Beck rally couldn’t be more profound.
Re the Sharpton rally. It is Luke 10:18 time:
“I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”
give big lie MSM time.
by tommorrow the headline will be al sharpton and the visual will be the beck rally. This will imply the beck rally was the sharpton rally.
The black liberation theologists will deny the beck rally saying it was a lie and there was no way they would allow a whitey rally at the lincoln memorial on that day.
Tucker Carlson’s “Daily Caller” is giving the event much more prominence that Drudge:
