There has never been a player like Albert Pujols.

There've been a few, but not many. Guys that combined great power, a high batting average, and clutch performances. Lou Gehrig comes to mind (as far as other 1st basemen go).

Don’t forget his clutch defensive play in Game one that saved a run.

Great comparison between Lou Gehrig and Albert Pujols. Both men were/are also both class acts off the field. Pujols became a U.S. Citizen just four years ago and really seems to appreciate what made this country great and the opportunities it has given him.

Gehrig, despite having his life cut short by a terrible disease, left us with a legacy of humility and gratitude for the same opportunities.

Either gentleman is the mirror opposite of the legions of useless celebs who have everything handed to them and still trash this country.
