He means as much as Roberto Clemente does to Latin people. Thank God I had the opportunity to know him. I wish my kids had the opportunity to be around him, because that’s how I want my kids to live their lives. I want them to be like Stan Musial. Not the baseball player. The person. That’s the respect I have for that man. Albert Pujols Read Quote
Do I want to be in St. Louis forever? Of course. People from other teams want to play in St. Louis, and they’re jealous that we’re in St. Louis because the fans are unbelievable. So why would you want to leave a place like St. Louis to go somewhere else and make $3 million or $4 more million a year? It’s not about the money. Albert Pujols Read Quote
St. Louis still is going to be a special place for me, whether I’m playing 3,000 miles away or 5,000 miles away. Albert Pujols Read Quote
It doesn’t matter what the scoreboard says. I’m always having fun, talking to other guys. They even come to first base and ask me about hitting. I try to help them out as much as I can in the 30 seconds before the pitcher throws the next pitch. That’s me. I don’t think I will ever change that. Albert Pujols Read Quote
St. Louis is still a special place for me. I still have my home there. I live there in the offseason. I enjoyed playing in front of 40,000 people every day. I tried to do my best to help the organization win. I had success there. We won two World Series. We went to three. That’s something you can’t take from me. Albert Pujols Read Quote
My dad always supported me. Sometimes we didn’t have anything to eat for breakfast, but if we could eat lunch and dinner, we weren’t poor. Albert Pujols Read Quote
God is the Man, and there’s another Man, Stan ‘The Man’ Musial in St. Louis. Albert Pujols Read Quote
The fans know and the Cardinals know that I want to be a Cardinal for my whole career. I love this city. The way that this city has embraced me and my family. Albert Pujols Read Quote
