Albert Pujols

O.k. It could be said that I am a huge St. Louis Cardinal fan, and even bigger fan of the man known as "The Machine."

Over his career in major league baseball, it could be argued that Albert Pujols has been the most consistant player to ever put on a uniform. The guy's career numbers average out to a batting average over .330, 40 home runs, 100+ runs, and 120+ RBI per year. The amazing thing is that year in and year out these numbers are astonishingly similar.

This year is panning out to be no different than years past. The first half of the '09 season was probably his best to date.

This leads me to last nights game against the New York Mets. Albert came into the game in a pretty big slump that had all the experts talking. Well, it's the next day and they are quiet now! It appears the slump is over. Albert finished the night 4 for 5 with a double, 2 homeruns (one being an extra inning grand salami) and 5 RBI.

In an era clouded by the steroid scandal, Albert Pujols has given baseball back its honor. Not only is Albert quickly becoming one of the greatest of all time, he is a good man, and a disciple of Christ!

It's a pleasure to witness his accomplishments on the baseball field, and his bold profession of his faith.

Go Phat Albert!
