Albert Pujols is the man, I hope the Cards win the series and he wins the MVP! Check his crib at http://attblueroom.com/sports its pretty chill, looks like an ordinary house for such an extraordinary dude.
An interesting story on the man that brought Pujols to the Cardinals.
Rather petty by Pujols, but whatever.
The writers/sports information people have to submit the voting at regualar season's end.well since the MVP is decided AFTER the playoffs. they say it doesn't but i believe it does...
Agreed. Never underestimate the importance of good coaching. The physical abilities are obviously present for anyone to get drafted. It's what they do with that talent - how it's cultivated and enhanced.I live and work in the Kansas City area and many of the areas Dominicans are my clients including the Pujols family. I'm sorry to hear that Albert has a beef over Dave's opinion of him but early in Albert's career there were a great many of us who doubted if he'd make it to the bigs. Albert was always head and shoulders above the other young men in talent. However, this might illustrate his problem. I'm in the stands with Albert's Dad and several of his uncles and other Dominican men watching him when he was about 16 or 17 years old. He's playing shortstop and the batter singles into left field. Albert moves out into left field to take the throw. The outfielder throws the ball in and Albert stands there with his glove outstretched as the ball rolls past him into the infield. Another infielder runs over to cut off the ball and hold the runner to a single. Albert is still standing there with his glove pointed at the outfielder as if to say "hit the glove, I'm not bending over for your throw". Every one of us in the stands pulled our caps down over our eyes. It never was about Albert's physical abilities. It was what was between his ears. Albert went on to receive some great coaching that has produced a great player I'm proud to know. But give ol' Dave a break. Predicting baseball talent is a pretty tough way to make a living.
