Albert Pujols has been amazing for Saint Louis baseball, he shaped their program into what it is today, a winning, successful team. He is known for hitting over 500 career home runs, which is a feat very few baseball players have achieved. He has won awards such as the MVP, Silver Slugger, Hank Aaron, Gold Glove, and many more awards like those.

Very few players can say they have won as many awards as Albert, they also may not have played for as long as he has. Albert has been playing in the major leagues for the entire 21st century, so far, that is incredible and few players as good as Albert can say that. The biggest reason though, is his selflessness. He has given back to the community more than any player I have ever seen, and that is why he must be memorialized in the place he got his
