When Albert Pujols first left St. Louis for the Angels over a decade ago, his place in Cardinals lore was etched in stone.
Few all-time greats — let alone any Cardinals superstars — could compare to nine All-Star selections and three MVPs. To manage such individual excellence while taking center stage as the talisman for two World Series teams in 2006 and 2011 made his accomplishments even better.
Pujols made a lot of wonderful, joyous memories in Cardinals’ red.
