Is Pujols the new phenom? How many has he hit out over the last 2-3 years?
He has 2 homers tonight including a grand slam.
I don't put much stock in home run hitting as being what makes a great player.
Could be that the tests were done to stop the mumblings about Pujols
MAYBE not playing "clean".
I've no dog in this fight...I just listen to ESPN radio and there
were some rumors (NO EVIDENCE) mentioned by some guests.
Looks like Pujols might just one of those guys who won the genetic lottery.
While probably apocryphal in part or whole, I know I once heard somebody
say that the boxer Joe Louis could read the labels of phonograph records
while they were playing.
And that was in the era of 78 rpms...
He is the first in Major League history to hit more than 30 homers in each of his first 6 seasons. In a week or two, he will have hit more than 40 in his last 4 seasons. He is also a really good fielder and hits for average as well (> 300).
