In the first of a two-part coversation, Albert Pujols joins former teammate Kyle McClellan to discuss his upbringing in the Dominican Republic and early journey in baseball.
I never really knew of Albert’s humble start. He really is a treasure for St. Louis and I am so glad he is back. Time heals all wounds and in this case, it is correct. It feels right for him to be playing with the Cards. Bless ya #5. You are a Cardinal for life.
It has been an absolute pleasure to watch one of the greatest human beings and baseball players ever over the last 22 years. To see him chase 700 HR, 2200 RBI and another World Series ring....wow. What a fitting end to a spectacular career.
Pujols is my favorite baseball player. I grew up watching him play. I was so sad when he left the Cardinals. As a Cardinals fan, we are witnesses history this season, Wainwright, Molina and The Machine Pujols playing together again, one last dance. Let's go Cardinals and thank you Pujols for your amazing career 👏 🙌 👍 🙏 ❤️
Listening to Albert in this relaxed interview is such a joy and a blessing❣ It feels like he's sitting in your home sharing his tales of his lifeI Such a down to earth good guy, humble, honest and such a great ability to laugh and talk to you like an old friend you've known forever❣ Being one who has loved Stl Cardinals baseball all my life, it's as if the Boyz are Familia❣ Growing up in a family deeply rooted in love and support for Stl Cardinals ONLY, the Boyz become special❣ Their voices are as familiar as anyone in our very own home❣ Albert is a rare person blessed by God and always aware of His great debt to God and always giving back to his communities here and in DR❣ Listening to him is such a happy place to be❣ I love the style of the interviewer and the ability to feel I'm hearing his tales one on one❣ God bless Albert always❣ And thankyou for coming back Home 🏡, Albert❣ So happy you're back Home to stay and so proud of you for all you do with Pujols 5 Foundation and surpassing 700 with 703❣ Awesome, Amazing, Irreplaceable and Unforgettable Albert 👑⚾️❤❣
I'd love to enter the alternate universe where albert stayed cardinal his entire career. I have no doubt he broke and set most records for offensive stats and wouldnt have had a drop in numbers like happened after his departure. Its the intangibles that make all the difference as a st louis cardinal. Our fans are supportive no matter what. Theres an energy the players seem to tap into that allows players to perform at their hughest levels because instead of feeling pressure to perform they feel the love which is the ultimate motivator.. love is the most plentiful reaource there is and you can see it any time you look into that dugout because we make sure they are always fully stocked. Pujols finally.settled back in after returning HOME. His body may have left for.some time but his.heart was .always here. Welcome home brother
Can Cardinals Nation get merchandise for Albert Pujols' return? I know that he returned after the Season 's Merch was manufactured, but can you imagine how coveted and quickly it would sell? A special Player like Albert is certainly worth it.
José Alberto Pujols ... absolutely AMAZING the 42-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and GREATEST hitter in baseball history. Can't believe he'll win ANOTHER World Series ring this fall with our St. Louis Cardinals (the GREATEST team in the league). #12in22
One of my dear friends is a MASSIVE Cards fan. Myself not so much. I do however love watching Pujols play and have for a long time. This year, I will happily cheer the Cards on to the series.
Loved every minute of the Chatterbox. New to the game glad I followed my husband choice of team.He has listening and following the Cardinals since he. was a little boy he is 77 now. Keep up the good .
Albert Pujols is the best player of all time. He's going to be 1 of 2 players all time that has 700 homers and 3000+ hits. No roids in the era of testing. ROY, all stars, gold gloves, silver sluggers, MVP's, and rings. When you try to think of anyone better, it's a couple of players in the 20's or steroid a abuser.
It just gets me how much Albert cares about Albert. His first comment is on why there's no picture of him in the studio. That just made me so disappointed. I'm a lifelong Cardinals fan who follow and support the team, no matter how they do.
@@thetruesnert8212 Actually it did. Albert’s raking. A fire was lit. I know it’s his life, but I wish he would return next year. Over 700 HR and 700 doubles would separate him even further from the rest.
@@chrisweidner4768 Actually it didn't. This man has consistently batted over .300, Has over 3300 hits, nearly 700 homeruns, nearly 2200 runs batted in, nearly 6200 total bases, over 650 doubles, has won multiple MVP awards, silver sluggers, gold gloves, multiple world series rings, and at 42 years old was able to compete in and produce better results than half of his competition in the 2022 home run derby. To tell this man that he needs to work out strenuously and following it up by saying it leads to success in the batters box is quite frankly, flat out insulting. He has already put the work in. What's embarrassing is telling a seasoned, hall of fame bound (likely the best hitter that any one of us will EVER see) 42 year old professional athlete that his production is an embarrassment. I would completely understand (and likely agree with you) if we were talking about a 23 year old rookie, or a 32 year old vet in the middle of their prime....but we aren't talking about that. We are talking about Albert Pujols. As much as I'd like to see him continue playing, his career is ending. He's done enough for the sport and the teams he has played for. He has already separated himself from nearly everyone else who has set foot in the batter's box. He is among the greats, if not the greatest already.
