For anyone else who watched yesterdays game, they will know what I mean when I say, "That’s Our Albert." After a Cardinal rally in the top of the 9th inning to tie up the game, Pujols came up in the 10th vs. All-Star pitcher Roy Oswalt, who was stuck in a weird closing situation. He led off the 10th with a solo shot that proved to be the winner for the Cardinals.
The thing we like most about this moment is reading some of Pujols quotes and seeing how he’s always putting his teammates first, and always showing a "never die" attitude. Here are a couple AP quotes from after this game.
"I was just thinking that the game’s not over until you get 27 outs and I think a lot of things can happen in this game. You saw it right there. We just tied the game against one of the best closers in the major leagues and that’s why you can’t take these games for granted."
