Albert Pujols Biography

Albert Pujols is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on January 16, 1980 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Star first baseman who led the St. Louis Cardinals to World Series Championships in 2006 and 2011. He was named National League MVP three times and won the NL home run title twice. After 11 years with the Cardinals, he joined the Los Angeles Angels in 2012.

He and Barry Bonds were two of the MLB’s most dangerous hitters in the early 20th century, but Pujols was never the subject of serious performance- enhancing drug allegations.

While playing Cincinnati on August 29, Pujols hit his 26th home run and 103rd RBI of the season. The home run tied him with Frank Robinson for ninth place on the all-time home run list at 586, and allowed him to become the seventh player all-time with 1,200 career extra base hits, and the 21st to reach 1,800 RBI. On September 16, Pujols became the 16th player all-time to reach 600 career doubles.

Pujols’s highlights later in the season included a July game in which he hit five RBI and three home runs in a thrilling win over the rival Chicago Cubs, and another in which he broke up a no-hitter by Giants pitcher Dustin Hermanson. During a September game against the Rockies, he earned his 500th RBI, joining DiMaggio and Ted Williams as the only players to have 500 RBI in their first four seasons. He said he was confident there was going to be “a lot more.” Although Pujols was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis during the second half of the season, he finished the season with a .331 average (fifth in the league), 196 hits (fifth), 51 doubles (second to Lyle Overbay’s 53), 46 home runs (tied with Adam Dunn for second behind Adrián Beltré’s 48) and 123 RBI (third, behind Vinny Castilla’s 131 and Scott Rolen’s 124) in 154 games. He also led the league in runs scored, with 133. He finished third in MVP voting (behind Bonds and Beltré), joining Musial as the only Cardinals to finish in the top five in voting for at least four years in a row. He won the Silver Slugger Award at first base, the third position he won the award at. Pujols, along with teammates Edmonds and Rolen, earned the nickname “MV3” for their phenomenal seasons; Pujols led the three in home runs and batting average.

He married Deidre Corona in 2000. He has two sons, Albert Jr. and Ezra, and two daughters, Isabella and Sophia.
