More on Albert Pujols
Description from Wikipedia:
José Alberto Pujols Alcántara () (born January 16, 1980, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic), better known as Albert Pujols, (nicknamed Prince Albert, Sir Albert, Phat Albert, El Hombre, and The Machine) is a Major League Baseball first baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals. His trademark consistency over his nine years (the only player in the history of the MLB to have at least 30 HR in his first 9 seasons) has brought him to be widely regarded as one of the best players in the game today, and he was voted the Most Feared Hitter in Baseball in a poll of all 30 major league managers in 2008. He has never batted below .314, had less than 103 RBIs, hit fewer than 32 home runs in a season, or had a slugging percentage less than .561.
As of the end of the 2008 season, he led active players in batting average (.334) and slugging percentage (.624).
In only his ninth season, he ranks 77th on the Career home runs leaders list. On July 4, 2008, Pujols hit his 300th career home run, becoming the fifth-youngest player (28 yrs., 170 days) in MLB history to reach that milestone. On July 3, 2009, Pujols hit his 350th career home run, becoming the third-youngest player in MLB history to reach that milestone.
He is 6' 3" and weighs 230 pounds.
