As a Cubs fan, I just can't gather up any hate for Albert Pujols. Just seems like a great guy who can be an inspiration for so many young people. I wish he was a Cub.

He's one of the greatest ever. No doubt about it.

I kind of view him as like the Tom Hanks of baseball. Something to aspire to, but I really hope he doesn't turn out to be an asshole, because it would ruin everything.

After seeing he hit 700, I got looking up baseball stats last night. Baseball trivia for you.
Without looking it up. What Cubs baseball player has the highest career batting average of all time? Assume at least 5,000 mlb career plate appearances and he didn’t play most of his career with the Cubs.

Good guess, but not it. The player did play a majority of his career with St. Louis, as well. He won MVPs for both the Cardinals and Cubs.

Rogers Hornsby?

Rogers Hornsby?

You are correct.

It’s to bad he wasted ten years with the black hole that is the Angels. One postseason appearance, zero wins.

He was my all time favorite player before he left.

The guy you really have to feel for, if anyone can feel bad for someone making a gazillion dollars, is Mike Trout. It would be great if he could get with a good organization like the Braves (don’t tell Sope I ever said this) while his skills are still at their high levels.

I’ve been a lifelong Cardinals fan. Bob Gibson is my all time favorite with Ozzie Smith and Albert close behind.

Albert has been a great mentor to the young Cardinal players all year.

September 3rd my GF and I went to the Cubs/Cardinals game. The first inning Albert crushed one. It just cleared the left field fence but the Cubs left fielder leaped and brought iback to rob Albert.

I never understood him leaving. He was loved and treated great in St Louis. If you compared the additional state income tax and cost of living in California the offers were very close. By most accounts players love playing for St Louis

The money the Cardinals offered Albert might have set the Organization back years. They might not have the load of young talent they have now had they spent the money on Albert.

It has all worked out for the best.
