And 21 years ago he hit a homer in his first ever at bat in Busch stadium.

He’s still putting up solid numbers in the DH spot. I know he’s done but if I were him I’d come back and go for Ruth’s 714

Angels might try to talk him out of retirement this offseason and offer him a 10 year deal

I recently visited the coliseum on a work trip to NorCal, try to take in games whenever I can. I understand it's very old, and not really set up best for baseball, but I thought the Treehouse was pretty cool, and Stompers playground where the kids could get blown away by Ricky Henderson was a kick. The margaritas in mason jars were pretty sweet too. Travel to and from the game on BART was pretty smooth as well.

Let's all of you flex your Pujol muscles now.

It has character for sure and I love that it's fairly inexpensive. I've been going since I was a little kid too so there's some nostalgia. I guess my issue with it is that it really represents the team in a nutshell. The owner takes every penny and doesn't put anything back into the team.

Working for Jim Crane, unknowingly setting up the IT infrastructure for the Houston Astros codebreakers, discovering a global ring of cartels they launder unimaginable amounts of money through, finding out Jim Crane worked for Enron and was probably meeting with Dick Cheney before 9/11, the president pardoning Jim Crane's golf buddies on his last day in office, stumbling on evidence that reveals the company you work for shouldn't exist, also they have ties to GameStop...

I could go on but why don't I clarify that I already blew the whistle on these criminals with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. That was after Robert Manfred didn't respond to my MLB ethics complaint.

So yeah... I think it's socially acceptable for me to not be romantic about baseball now.

I’m still waiting for the candy company brave enough to release the Pujols Bar

I really wish he’d just keep going - he’s playing like he has an easy 2-3 part time DH seasons left in him….easily 162 games worth, spread out.

I’d love to see him break all the records.

But I suppose I’m forced to respect his position on not chasing numbers - better to Pujols out, than Rose away….but man, he could totally keep it going.

Why retire? He’s having his best season in about 9 years.

Not sure why pitchers are throwing him cheese. I would give him four balls in the dirt if it were me. No freebies.
