    Would love to see a 99 Will Clark. His sweet swing was a joy to watch.

    If they were to make an Angels Pujols card, it would need to be a common.

    500th Home Run as an Angel and he'd have a better stance/swing, the mvp pujols last year had a less than stellar swing.

    I'm mostly just taking my opportunity to get a shot in on my least favorite player of all time, Albert the Fraud Pujols. The Angels should have cut him a decade ago. Could have kept CJ Cron had they done so.

    I can assure you that no Angels fans have anything but antipathy towards Pujols. He even once said something along the lines of "it was nice to play in St. Louis again (following an interleague game) since they have real baseball fans here, unlike Anaheim."

    That is messed up, I wouldn’t want a player that doesn’t like the team he is on to be on it. I was never really a fan, so I guess that’s why I didn’t hear about this.

    Angels fans can hate on Pujols all they want, I don't entirely blame them. He had 11 dominant years in St Louis (find me a more dominate 11 year stretch by any hitter ever, other than Bonds). Only player ever to amass .300+ average, 30+ Home Runs and 100+ RBIs in 10 straight seasons.

    But, his Angels run was nowhere near worth the money they paid him. And if he really said that, I would have beef too. But this Fraud talk? My buddy met Albert and his wife at the zoo this past year, he was taking his kid and a large group of autistic children on a tour. My friend works with a young man with autism and they happened to be at the zoo. Albert not only signed autographs, he invited them to join their tour and spent the whole day together. So when it comes to being a quality human. Albert is no Fraud. He is and always will be the man.

    I don't understand why there's all this buzz about Kirby Puckett? I'm obviously not a Twins fan (obligatory division rival hatred), so what's all the fuss about?

    He's the only new legend for this year not to have his best card yet. That's the only reason.

    And didn't we already get the Prime Romo card?

    His latest card was a postseason 89.

    I think that is about as good as you can get a Romo card.

    Living in orange county, I agree with his statement 100%

    the Fraud talk is because he lied about his age. That's why.

    I think whoever wrote that scene (the whole scenario) must have been an Angels fan. I mean, movies are made in Hollywood.The Angels play a short 8 hour drive away, which in California terms, means like 15 miles.

    They knew what they were doing with that. The young player being specifically from the Dominican Republic gives it away.

    Am I to take it as a coincidence that "Carlos" is wearing a red wife-beater in that scene? Red like the Cardinals, and the Angels?

    If he did, everyone was aware. According to some executives it was wide spread knowledge not that he lied, but many people from Latin countries don't have accurate birt records. The Angels knew what they were getting.. The Angels paid for Pujols so he would hit his 500th and 600th HR, and 3,000th hit as as Angels player. To sell Pujols jerseys etc. He did all that. I don't feel sorry for these teams who over pay players. And if Albert really did lie about his age and he's actually 44 or 45, and he can still hit 15-20 bombs a year.....more power to him

    Again, I get an Angels fans frustration with him (though I'd be way more annoyed with Josh Hamilton and CJ Wilson who did nothing for your team) Pujols at least gave decent run production for several years, not worth what he was paid but who really is.

    Was bummed to see him leave the Cardinals, it reminded me that no matter how good a guy anyone is, this sport is still all about money. If they offered me a bag like that, I'd take it too.

    Good? Pujols is as good as Bernie Madoff, that's how good he is. Took Moreno for a ride. I don't respect that.

    If I want to look up to con artists, there are better than Albert Pujols.

    If I want to look up to hall of fame level baseball players that have character flaws, I'd sooner choose Pete Rose or Albert Belle.

    Um Benchwarmers came out in 2006, 6 years prior to Pujols moving to the Angels. And let's not get carried away, he didn't lie to play on a little league team as an adult ringer. He was FastTracked through the minors because he mashed against people his age or older.. I have no idea if any of this is true but I wouldn't be surprised, but what would he benefit telling them he was 19 and not 21. It's not like he was 37 pretending to be 28. But keep on cracking jokes, one for every RBI and HR he has hit.

    I think you're over thinking what type of deception was made if any. Nothing has ever been proven but regardless, who signs an aging 1st baseman to a 10 year deal and doesn't expect regression? His first 5 years were good, not great. You are of course entitled to your opinion, I've just never heard Pujols compared to the cheaters and wife beaters, a man with a truly good heart who has done so much for his community. Arte Moreno didn't get hoodwinked. He made loads of money off Pujols accomplishments and philanthropy.

    I don't hate Pujols. I hold him in ill-regard and have no respect for him, but I don't hate him. There are people that he defrauded that have every reason to hate him though. People like CJ Cron, Mark Trumbo, Phil Gosselin, Jared Walsh, and Arte Moreno.

    I'm none of those people, so I just don't respect him at all and consider him to be a bad person.

    Save your talk of philanthropy. Pujols' "philanthropy" is always at the behest of his CPA as a way to optimize his tax deductions. Some philanthropy. About as philanthropic as the guy that gives his old basketball jersey to the Goodwill so he can get a receipt and claim he donated 5K worth of things to charity that fiscal year, with the receipt to prove it.
