Albert Pujols stance in 2006.
It’s not secret that Albert Pujols played his best baseball as a St. Louis Cardinal, even winning two World Series championships during his 2006 and 2011 campaigns.
Once traveling further west to Anaheim and signing with the Los Angeles Angels, Pujols’s opportunities to smash home runs at Busch Stadium understandably decreased, as Pujols not only neglected to still play as a Cardinal, but also chose to play outside a league warranting multiple trips back to the stadium as an opposing player.
For the first time since 2011, Pujols stepped into the box for the St.Louis faithful to look down on this weekend to play in an Angels vs. Cardinals interleague series. The affair brought smiles to both Pujols and those contributing to the ocean of fans stretching around the diamond. The crowd immediately showered Pujols with cheers, promptly thanking Pujols after his countless successful years dedicated to St. Louis baseball, while also illustrating their ongoing support despite his opposition to his prior team.
Once the dust settled, the scored flashed a 4–2 score, favoring St. Louis. Although walking away with a loss, Pujols delivered for St. Louis for likely the last time, as he gifted their fanbase with yet another moment impossible to forget.
