Albert was just having a little fun. Nothing to crucify him over.

I can't wait until next year when he's with the Cubs -- thereby killing two franchises at one time.

If Pujols had later returned after the inning and gave him a ball, that would have been Albert having fun.

This was Albert being Albert.

You mean the same Albert that gives millions to charity every year, goes down to the Dominican on a yearly basis and helps the poor, and gives his time and energy to children with downs syndrome? I'm not so sure what you mean by Albert being Albert. The fan he was going to give the ball to looked about 60 and heckled him after the play. It more looked like Albert forgot that there were only two outs. This whole thing is just silly.

You can be arrogant and charitable.

Albert probably is. Not that big deal.

If Albert Pujols wore Cincinnati Red Everyone would Love him.

Huh?

Fans above 60 don't deserve a baseball?

[OldXOhio]

In this season of disappointment, I at least will take heart in the fact that we handled St Louis in 2011 and were one of the reasons why they too will be on their couches watching the playoffs rather than playing in them.

Enjoy your offseason cardinals

Of course we would.

But about the only people who love Pujols are Cards fans.

I strongly disagree with that statement.

I believe Albert is one of the more popular players in all of baseball.

I strongly disagree with your statement.

5 years ago, maybe.

But today, he's seen as an arrogant superstar who will likely chase the $$$.

I think 5 years ago, this was very true. I think the true Albert has shown his colors the last 3 or so years and a lot of fans are turned off by that.

Really? I don't get that impression at all. I think he's one of the better ambassadors for the game.

I'm sure there is at least one Brewer fan who strongly disagrees.

[KronoRed]

I think Reds fans are the last people that would have an unbiased opinion about Albert Pujols.
