Albert Pujols has quickly become regarded as one of the best and most dangerous hitters in baseball today. On In 2008 he became the first player in baseball history to hit 30 or more home runs in each of his first eight seasons. Since his debut in 2001, Pujols has won the Rookie of the Year Award (2001), the Most Valuable Player Award (2005), and a World Championship (2006.) In 2008, Albert finished in the top 5 of each Triple Crown category, batting .357 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs. This six-time St. Louis Cardinal All Star, with a current 8-year career batting average of .334 and 319 home runs, is certain to be one of baseball's best players for years to come.
Red home St. Louis Cardinals New Era cap, worn by Albert Pujols on Opening Day 2004. This cap exhibits good evidence of use (for a cap worn only one day), and is a size 7 ½. Albert hand-wrote the initials of his wife and two children (he did not have a third child in 2004), and his number 5. This cap has a special "Opening Day 2004" appliqué patch affixed to the side of the cap. A letter of authenticity from the St. Louis Cardinals comes with this cap.
