Getting your player ready...
With hundreds of fans cheering and many urging him to stay, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols watched the unveiling of a 10-foot, 1,100-pound bronze statue of himself Wednesday outside his restaurant. One reporter noted “you can’t pack the statue with you,” and wondered if the Pujols Family Foundation would remain in St. Louis if Pujols signed elsewhere. “Hopefully I don’t have to make that decision,” said Pujols, a free agent for the first time after spending his 11 major-league seasons with the Cardinals. “We’re just going to see where God takes us.” The sculpture has religious overtones.
