When Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt finally won his first career MVP award on Thursday night, there was only one person who could make the official announcement: teammate and three-time MVP Albert Pujols.
Pujols—who just completed his final big-league campaign with a triumphant return and resurgent season in St. Louis—joined the MLB Network’s broadcast to reveal this year’s winner. After giving Goldschmidt a moment to celebrate with his family, Pujols offered a heartfelt congratulations to his teammate for his career-making achievement.
