Albert Pujols Photograph

Albert's St. Louis Carndinals career has gotten off to a remarkable start. After winning the Players Choice Award for outstanding National League Rookie as well as the unanimous choice for National League Rookie of the Year Award in 2001, he didn't slow down one bit the following seasons. He was the first player in Major League history to hit .300, hit 30 home runs, score 100 runs and drive in 100 runs in each of his first three seasons. In 2002, he was second in MVP voting to Barry Bonds (in only his second season), and did so while trying his hand at no less than six different positions -- first base, third base, left field, right field, designated hitter, and even shortstop. In 2003, he won the National League (and Major League) Batting Title with an average of .359 and was the leading vote-getter for the 2003 All-Star Game. In 2004 he was again voted as the starting First Baseman for the NL All-Star team and finished the season with a .331 average, 46 homers and 123 RBIs. He became the third player in history to total 500 RBIs over his first four seasons. And all he did in 2005 was win the NL MVP and lead the Cardinals to the National League Championship series. Albert is THE MAN right now in baseball. This great action photograph is hand-signed by Albert and Sports Gallery Quality Framed. A great gift (and investment) for that special sports fan in your life.
