Albert Pujols Hits Three Homers in One Game




Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Editorial, Kudos, MLB,

St. Louis Cardinals Albert PujolsMove over Barry Bonds, you are undeniably no longer the best hitter in baseball (steroids or not).  Welcome, Albert Pujols, to your rightful place.  On a lazy Sunday afternoon, Pujols was anything but against the Cincinnati Reds as he went 3-for-4 with one walk, 5 RBI, and of course three dingers off of three different pitchers because Pujols didn’t want anyone to feel left out of the hit parade.  The third one off of Reds reliever, David Weathers, was a two-run shot that won the game for the Cardinals.  Sooner or later, pitchers are going to pitch to Pujols the way they pitched to Bonds when Bonds was healthy.  That is to say, they will intentionally walk him every chance they get OR throw nothing but junk at Pujols. A career .332 hitter with a 1.039 OPS in just over five seasons, Pujols is simply the biggest threat in the batter’s box today. At only 26 years of age, he hasn’t even hit his prime yet, which usually starts at 27 years old, going well into the early 30’s.  There’s a reason that most in the media call Pujols, “King Albert.”
