Wish I could hate Pujols... he's just too nice of a guy. I've talked with him twice AT WRIGLEY field for an extended period of time. The first time was the 2005 home opener... he was playing catch with a Cardinals reliever (IT WAS FREAKING COLD) during pre-game warm ups. Cubs fans were razzing him and he'd just smile. Well the reliever went back to the visitor's clubhouse and he came over right behind the visitor's bullpen and started shooting [expletive] with me and the guys I was with... was really cool. We ended up talking again later in the year at the same spot.

 

The best part was when he was getting harassed uncontrollably from the batting cages under right field... it was BRUTAL. And 5 minutes later he came out with at least 10 baseballs and a sharpie and started signing them and throwing them to kids in the bleachers.

 

He's a class act and I'm pissed he's on the Cardinals.

You were sitting in RF right? I was sitting there in the first row talking to Pujols on that day as well. He signed a ball for my friend, and talked to us about the new Cardinals stadium, the All Star game deciding HFA among other things. We also had some convos with Skip Schumacher, who no one knew at the time and David Eckstein.

Hell yea! I wasn't in right field bleachers, my dad got me and my friends tickets from work right behind the Cards bullpen. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who realizes how cool Pujols is.

Drew triples. 1 out.

 

It looked like the CF dropped the ball when he hit the wall. NM it went right past his glove and bounced off the wall away from him.

 

Tracy intentionally walked.
