1. Albert Pujols contributing to Cardinals on the field and in the clubhouse

Cardinals fans are even happier than they thought they would be with the return of Albert Pujols with the St. Louis Cardinals.

It was nice to see Pujols return to the Cardinals to close his career where it started.  As the season continues, it has become a magical story, and Pujols has smashed several records fans previously only dreamed he could reach.

It has been excellent. And it’s great that he came home and did this proper send-off.

Pujols returned to the Cardinals to help the team win another championship as well as be a mentor to his teammates. He has completed so many steps toward his goal this season. He is beloved in the Cardinals clubhouse. He has made so many plays to help the Cardinals win. He is doing everything promised and then some.

In 109 games this season, Pujols hit .270/.345/.550 with an OPS of .895 with 24 home runs, 42 runs, and 68 RBIs. This added to some impressive career statistics this season. He has smashed 703 home runs for fourth all-time. He hit them off 458 different pitchers. And he’s hit them in 40 different ballparks around the majors. He has surpassed Babe Ruth with 2,218 career RBI. He is now second only to Hank Aaron.

Pujols is just a legend. Here’s hoping he grows that legend and has the most memorable, fantastic postseason run with the Cardinals. Pujols must also prepare to put on a Red Jacket as he will be a Cardinals and MLB Hall of Famer. It’s going to be fun!
