The Last Inning: A Tribute to Yadi and Albert | St. Louis Cardinals 

There will NEVER be another Yadier Molina!!! He's the absolute best.

I know the season didn’t end the way we all wanted it to but it was a fun ride getting to see Pujols chase 700 HR and Yadi and Waino set that battery record.

These two will be missed. It was amazing getting to watch their last season. Pujols getting to 700 home runs and Waino and Yadi getting 325 starts together. Wish we could have gotten a world series win but it was still a fun year.

Can’t stop crying 👍4,5,50❤

Two of the many GOATs in cards baseball.... Ive seen them play all my known life... im gonna miss them😭

I don’t want to say goodbye

My first memory of Pujols and Molina is kinda a funny one. For Pujols it was getting a poster from Shop-n-Save for Real Cheese, it said “Cardinals LEFT Fielder Albert Pujols” I remember thinking “I hope this guy is good enough to do something.” That was 2002 😂 For Yadi it was seeing him start in 2004 as our starting catcher. I recall telling my dad, “I hope this chubby kid can be good for us. It’s hard to replace Mayheny.”

As crappy of an ending the 2022 season was for the cardinals, I’ll always be able to say I witnessed Pujols and Yadi’s last hits and I’ll cherish that moment forever

I wish it wasn’t over. It will never be the same.

Man it really hurts knowing I won't be able to watch them play anymore. When I was little (i'm 26 now) I watched Albert play around 2001-2002ish and he got me to start watching baseball from when I was little up to now, my great aunt's husband (RIP to both) got me a signed Albert hat from one of Albert's charities back when I was 16 and I still have that hat in a glass case and will never ever get rid of it, he is just that amazing of a person / player. Yadi is also amazing though I never got the chance to get anything signed by him but I have been thankful to watch him and Yadi play together many times in person and to watch Yadi in general is just a blessing.

Pujols being the best player of the 2000’s an having the absolute best defensive catcher maybe ever as his teammate is insane. Cardinals a first class organization. Coming from a Braves fan. They do it right there.

just chills over and over remembering this season

Man, being a kid watching the cards as Yadi and AP coming up to the bigs and watch their whole career. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a dry eye throughout this whole video.

No one will ever be like Yadi or Albert

I'm not crying, you're crying!

I know that what we watched here was so much more than the subject of my comment. I just watched those 2022 Pujols home runs and when I watch Albert swing, I always think back to his playoff home run against Brad Lidge. The Cards lost that series and it hurt so bad. However, that home run is what I will always think of when watching anything about Albert Pujols. I will never understand how that blast was estimated at under 500 feet. I have never seen a ball that was hit so hard and seemed to still be gaining speed as it hit so very high off of that wall. Baseball is the best sport and the Cardinals are my favorite team. They were my first favorite team. Pujols was the best hitter ever, the memories he gave us all will never be forgotten, and that ball that he hit against Lidge was well over a 500 foot blast.

I will never forget being at a baseball game and Yadi being at bat and everyone chanting "YADI YADI YADI" and the time he stole a base, and pujols getting 700! Those two will be missed for sure.

I Really enjoyed this show great tribute to two icons two Hall of Famers

John Goodman please make their story into a movie.. someone needs to

Sucks soooooo freaking bad that we couldn't have that magical ending if winning a championship for this year..

Watching these two ride off into the sunset chasing and breaking records was amazing to watch!

Albert we will miss you. The greatest hitter ever

They are the iconic baseball duo there will bever be anyone like Pujols or Molina

It feels unreal that it has come to and end and next yr it'll all be different. I wish it could have ended with a championship, but I'm so happy to have grown up watching such a great couple of players wear the Red Bird u uniform.

Growing a Cards fan and idolizing Yadi and saying he was allergens was an understatement. In a kid like mines eyes, Yadi was not a person but a thing, a thing greater that anything I have ever seen with my own eyes. Thanks for all of the memories, we’ll miss you. Let’s fly!!

These two are the most talented and humble men to ever play the game. They are champions. They are generous off the field as well. I will miss them! I wish we could do it all again. Baseball will not be the same for me without them. Thanks Albert and Yadi for everything you gave us and it was a lot!! God bless you both.

Seems ironic hearing Dan keep yelling "It's GONE!" since he's now gone.

Nice tribute to Yadi and Albert. Yadi is the greatest catcher. Albert is clutch hitter.

It's hard to say goodbye.

I am so happy I saw these greats play and glad my daughter who is 8 saw them their last year❤️❤️❤️

I’m going to show my future kids this and the highlight reels of Albert and Yadi.

i was watching the last game swing my bat with them hoping we would win but we didnt and thats ok because i know ill never forget yadi and albert and the amazing memories they've made

only true cardinals fans shed tears watching this! I watched the wizard as a boy buying nose bleed seats Goin early for BP and and sitting in the box seats of the rich ppl that wouldn't show up that particular day, some of the best memories of my childhood. There will never be another yadi or Albert here in st.louis, we've been truly spoiled and blessed as Cardinals fans.

Damn, time goes by so fast. To think that the 19 years Yadi was here came and went just like that, and now we are in our second season without him...

Yadier Benjamin Molina, the 40-year-old from Bayamón, Puerto Rico and GREATEST player in baseball history. José Alberto Pujols Alcántara, the 42-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is the ONLY one in the 700 home run club to NOT have used enhancements. #12in23

My entire childhood as a Cardinals fan is retiring

Amazing careers. Amazing video, we will miss you albert and yadi. Cant wait to see 4 and 5 on the retired numbers. This made me cry. I was proud to be alive to witness this

these guys are my superheros

What can you say about Yadi and Pujos??? Both of them are awesome 👍 and they will be in the Hof as one of the best Cardinals

I turned 50 This year and have enjoyed the 80s winning and fantastic players but Pujols & Yadi are the best I have ever seen that will never ever be equaled.

SICK

Baseball is the best

Yadi,Albert,and Waino played in a way that makes Us respect the Game the way it should be played,I will miss Yadi,and Albert,I watched Lou Brock steal bases on the day he broke Ty Cobbs record,matter of fact he stole sevond& then he stole third for the record of more!@ bt with these two that played 12 years together!!Am proud to be St.Louis Cardinals Fan!! Thank You for the great Memories!! Love Yadi& Albert

You know what really cool is I was at the game Albert hit 685

Excellent program Tribute of two of the best in Baseball, plus I got to see Ozzie the best shortstop ever, and I'm a Pirates fan.

2022 was a pretty fun season of Cardinals baseball to watch despite the eventual outcome.

Lets go Cardinals

I love the cardinals

We NEED 3 statues for these guys.

Absolutely awesome! ❤🎉😊

Very well done!

I owe the greatest years of my life to these 2 legends. Love forever

Went to the game against the royals Pujols hit his 1st home run back with the cardinals I saw a few online going for decent money I have 4 an 1 was unused

Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, your legacy will always love on, Legends never die truly a GOAT.

Gonna miss Yadi and Albert. God bless you both. ⚾️

The very best 👌

That sepia shot of Big Mac looking at Pujols during the retirement ceremony, remembering that 21 years ago he told TLR during Spring Training "If you don't start this kid, it will be the biggest mistake of your career" gives me chills. One icon looking out over another icon. I have no words

I was looking forward for baseball and then I remembered that we won't see Yadi and Albert on the field anymore.

#4 & #5 needs to be on that left field wall as part of the Opening Day Ceremonies, absolutely no reason to wait around!

So PROUD to be a CARDINALS FAN!!!

I really shouldn't get this fucked up watching a baseball video. These guys embody baseball to me, as a kid from Missouri. It was a beautiful swan song season for two of the all time greats. Mike Shannon and Danny Mac narrated this story for me my whole life, and made it that much more special. How lucky am I to be in this timeline.

YADI IS THE GOAT

Yadi says to his mother "Thank you for all the sacrifice that you and my dad made, along with my uncles, that I love all of them. For teaching me this beautiful sport, for making me a man of good faith, I love you old woman, may God give you many more years of life and more joy for all of us. Love you". Really dropped the fcuking ball there, Cardinals, easily could've put that in subtitles.

Ozzie Smith you were my dads favorite player in the 1980s

As we start 2023, gonna miss Yadi and Albert. Bringing in Willson Contreras was a decent call by MO. Hope it pays dividends. Let's go win another division title and get back to where the Cards belong.

1:51 in and I’m crying

I know I'm not the only one that wanted to keep telling myself that they will come back another year. But us as fans will say that every year LOL. You can't blame Yadi though, he had some years behind that plate man.. I just really wish Pujols would have gave it one more year because I think he could have put up even better numbers than 2022.. Dude's a bonafide superstar for what he did In 2022. Wow. A lot of people didn't see it coming but I swear I knew he was going to do it big. Lol. If he stayed in St Louis those numbers would be absolutely absurd!! Honestly still shocked Albert left based on the relationship he had with other players we have here. It's still shocking man. It ended the exact way it should have tho. 😊

Cool

I bet Pujols at MGM on April 3rd to hit #700 in 2022. At 10/1. Unbelievable to watch it happen. I can only say thank you to him. And Yadi. None better, game will miss them both.

I moved outta STL and live in Florida now but 🖕🏻Florida I love my hometown and my city I’ll drive back right now throw on a Cards jersey and eat me some Imos I miss you all and love y’all I’ll definitely be at spring training in Jupiter 🌴next year

Don't trade Carlson or nootbar, give them one more year, nootbar will inevitably break out soon and Carlson is gonna have a 25 HR year

🥺🥹😭

This was the "the last dance"

Damn who's got tissues

The Wizard is gonna welcome them and Wainwright into the Gold Jacket Club. Not just the Red Jacket Club. #HOF

Wow I shouldn't have watched this lol thanks for making me depressed.

What is up with these bad camera angles? Ozzie 😢

why they got to not include Adam?

If the organization is smart, they'll put Yadi, Waino, and Pujols in red jackets at the same time and retire jersey nos. 4, 5, and 50 all at once. Anything else would compromise the relationship those three had to each other and to the last 20+ years of Cardinals baseball. By the way, 5 × 4 × 50 = 1,000, and 5 + 4 + 50 = 59, for the 59 combined years they spent in MLB (22 for Pujols, 19 for Molina, 18 for Wainwright).

Omg no Molina next year is going to be the weirdest year ever

it’s not gone be the same with out Danny Mac.

Pooholes Used PEDs (Dominican sunscreen) his last season. His previous 5 season stats were a joke.

Albert looks like a monster standing by Joe Buck it was so nice to have albert back i saw 698 😁

Funny how they include Waino but he said....no no no, not so fast. I'm not done yet lol
