Albert Pujols is a baseball legend and will some day go into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown for everything that he has done in the batter’s box but last night he got to do something special and something I don’t think I ever saw coming – he got to pitch an inning for the first time in his career.
How’d it go? Well, he gave up four runs on three hits but he also got three outs, including the final one in the top of the ninth as the Cardinals blew out the Giants, 15-6, Sunday night in St. Louis.
For real, Pujols pitched a real inning of baseball and it was a lot of fun.
