Re: Albert Pujols to the Angels
"Wow" is right...this is huge.
Knowing the Cardinals-they'll defy the odds once again.

Re: Albert Pujols to the Angels
+1 on all the wows. I feel bad for Cardinal fans losing a great player though.

A sad day for baseball. I guess Albert can build a few more missions.

Re: Albert Pujols to the Angels
Glad to see him out of the National League. As a Brewers fan I'm glad that he's no longer a Cardinal.............

Re: Albert Pujols to the Angels
And yesterday it looked like the Cardinals were almost certain to sign him.
I saw a report that the Angels hadn't even contacted him until the last 48 hours.
Wow is correct.Collecting Cardinals jerseys and bats, with a focus on Yadier Molina, Matt Holliday, and Adam Wainwright.

Re: Albert Pujols to the Angels
Totally shocked. I thought for sure it was to get the Cardinals to move and Albert would stay in St. Louis. Amazing fact on Pujols, he never made over $14.6 million in a season over his entire 11 year career with the Cardinals.
Most baseball players are overpaid for what they really do but in comparison to the rest of the league, Albert was one of the most underpaid players over his 11 year history compared to his WAR. I really don't blame him for leaving. At some point it has to be upsetting on why your own team won't pay you. In his last contract he gave the Cardinals a huge hometown discount.
With that said, only time will tell if this works out for the Angels on the field. Off the field and in the box office, this is as big as it gets!
My first call after hearing the news was to my friend who is a principal in Art of the Game which is the stadium store for the Angels who sells the game used.
Just think of the calls they will be getting for Pujols jerseys! I already put in my request for Albert's first jersey. Everyone else get in line!
