Sorry for all the Cards/Pujols love, but all the attention on St. Louis for the All-Star Game has made me appreciate how fortunate I am to be in St. Louis (Baseball Heaven) while a sure-fire HoF’er is in the prime of his career (I hope I didn’t jinx it).
As a sports fan, I’ve read plenty of accounts of watching players like Larry and Magic, Bill Russell, Stan the Man, Jim Brown and loads of other all-time greats, but other than the only Bulls game I’ve ever attended (MJ led them to a title that year), I’ve never been able to regularly see a once in a generation player.
Call this nostalgia from the future. I just can’t wait to tell my grandkids all my El Hombre stories.
Btw, this is a swell article.
Nah. I’m expecting a Big Mac.
Albert Pujols (courtesy of the St. Louis Post Dispatch’s Brian Burwell), on whether he expected the Cardinals to bill him for knocking out the lights in the “I” with a June home run into Big Mac Land.
MVP!
