it's cool -- some fanbases would still be booing him for leaving (maybe not with all the charity work he still does there tho)

STL fans should give a 10 minute ovation to the Cards management for letting him go.

(Pujols)
I just learned last night that the pujols/angels contract includes stuff that basically binds him to the angels for another decade after he retires - PR appearances, licensing stuff, etc. it’s a bummer because I’m sure St. Louis would love him to have him back as a de facto cardinal after his career is over

going to release some Angels imprinted toys for kids, like the remote control plane named after his Angels career OPS - The Pujols 767...er, 747....wait, 727....

i mean i *knew* he had a ton of HRs but it's still a little jarring to look up his BR page and see that Edwin Encarnacion has hit 404 during his career.

was rollie fingers ever a phenomenon? obviously very good and obviously a handlebar for days, but seems like that might have been less notable then

it's kind of amazing that he already has 39 fWAR despite being 29 years old and only playing 125+ games in 4 seasons so far

I think I read they're also bringing The Freeze over from ATL for other between-inning silliness.

The collapse video is good to watch, it almost looks like a different game. Gene Garber in his third inning of relief rolls through the entire collapse. There would have been like 7 pitching changes now.

Sorry. The answer is: "The exhilarating tension between being and becoming." Being and becoming.
An ode to baseball: "One can throw a baseball just about anywhere, and all you need is another willing participant. Few accessories are required—no yoga pants, no air conditioning, no mat.
