The INSANE Prime of Albert Pujols

Albert Pujols AKA The Machine is one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. His imposing presence struck fear into opponents. Pujols dominated the game for a decade to begin his 22 year career, and climbed many of the all-time leaderboards. Albert’s high average, prodigious power, and ability to limit strikeouts is what made him a special slugger. In addition to his offensive prowess, Pujols’s defense at first base was exceptional. When the stakes were the highest in the postseason, he played some of his best baseball. Off the field, Albert has made significant contributions through his charitable efforts. Today, we look back on his remarkable career.
