Albert Pujols's Fan Forum

I was another fan who really believed that Albert Pujols would break the mold of greedy players blessed with the ability to play a kids game for a hell of a lot of money. Like all knowledgable Cardinal fans, I remember when Albert first came up with the redbirds and had plate discipline like none other. He was so humble, but with consecutive years of greatness Albert started getting the "Superstar Big-Head." My dad would always point that out to me, and I would always ignore it because of the hall of fame numbers that El Hombre kept putting up. I have never seen such a great right handed hitter in my life, and I myself have played a lot of baseball even at the college level. I thought there would be no way in hell that Albert Pujols would leave such a great baseball town, in fact the best baseball city in America. With that being said, after viewing his 60 minutes interview, I knew right then and there that the Cardinals were not in Pujols' cards. True christians do not hold grudges, and Albert Pujols holds grudges. He openly admitted the grudge when he was selected in the 13th round of the MLB baseball draft. He was not happy with the Cardinals top brass when they refused to talk to him about the A-Roid money that he was demanding. This was just after the Cardinals chose to keep their promise to him by staying competitive by offering Matt Holliday his big pay-day. After refusing to talk to Pujols, this is where the grudge started and where it stayed. He stated he wanted to remain a Cardinal for life, but he was after the money he thought he was entitled to. He wanted to remain a Cardinal for life, but for all the wrong reasons, which we all found out to be the money. What a waste, its like he never played here for me. I could care less what records he breaks moving forward. He was a has been, never will be when speaking of the truly great players this "talented rich" organization has honored. Just a shame that is all I can really say

I remember his constantly (during Spring Training) driving out of the gate of the stadium without stopping laughing at the kids wanting his autograph while most other players stopped and rolled down their windows, or Brendan Ryan after games not leaving the 1st base line until every kid had an autograph. This is the true side of him, not the charity crap he does that he can put on TV with the undertone of "how great I am." It is what the players do when the press or large members or the public aren't watching that shows he they truly are.

Now he can afford a bigger gold chain!

It's not about the money, you lying ass, it's always about the money. You are apart of the reason why most fans can not afford tickets to see a game live. When is enough, enough? All the money in the world and the fans do not matter, you want more. Good luck in hell!!!
