As the revelation of the Mitchell Steriod Report loomed yesterday morning, rumors were rampant that All Star and all around good guy Albert Pujols would be implicated. St. Louis, already gun-shy after Mark McGwire's awful testimony on Capitol Hill, braced for impact...
Over 70 names were divulged in the report, along with details regarding their purchase and use of various performance enhancing substances. El Hombre was not among them, and Redbird Nation released the collective breath it had been holding.
The accomplishments of Albert Pujols are not Ruthian. They are not comparable to Mays, or Mantle, or Cobb. The accomplishments of Albert Pujols cannot be compared to anything in the history of the game because they have never been seen before. No one in the history of the game of baseball has begun their career with 7 seasons of .300 / 30 / 100 production. Not Musial, or Williams, or Aaron.
I hope no one ever again compares Albert's accomplishments to those of Barry Bonds.
