Albert Pujols, born 16 Jan 1980

Exhibition Label

Born Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
First with the St. Louis Cardinals (2001–11), with whom he won two World Series titles, and then with the Los Angeles Angels (2012–present ), Albert Pujols has proven himself one of the most feared power hitters in baseball. A three-time MVP and nine-time All-Star, Pujols already has more than 500 home runs while also hitting for a career average of .317. Pujols, a big man, is the prototype for the power-hitting first baseman/designated hitter. After the 2011 season, and despite his success with the Cardinals, Pujols chose to sign with the Angels for ten years and $254 million dollars—a deal that was widely criticized for being too much for a slugger in the second half of his career. In sports, the numbers count: performance in the arena defines them.
Albert Pujols nacido en 1980
Nacido en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana
Primero con los Cardenales de St. Louis (2001–11), con quienes ganó dos títulos de la Serie Mundial, y luego con los Angelinos de Los Ángeles (2012–presente), Albert Pujols ha probado ser uno de los más temidos bateadores en el mundo del béisbol. Premiado tres veces como jugador más valioso y elegido nueve veces para el Juego de Estrellas de las Grandes Ligas, Pujols ya tiene en su haber más de 500 jonrones con un promedio de bateo de .317. Es un hombre corpulento, prototipo de la potencia que se espera de un primera base o un bateador designado. Al final de la temporada 2011, y a pesar de su éxito con los Cardenales, Pujols decidió firmar un contrato de diez años con los Angelinos por $254 millones, acuerdo que fue muy criticado por considerarse demasiado cuantioso para un bateador ya en la segunda mitad de su carrera. En el deporte los números cuentan: el rendimiento en el campo es lo que los define.
