Albert Pujols is currently in St. Louis for the first time since 2019. The veteran Dodgers is back in the stadium where he became a star for only the second time since leaving the Cardinals.
But every time he’s like a fish in water. We will remember that in his first series there, in 2019, he hit the long ball for the Angels.
And there, he has just repeated the feat on his first shot there.
Whoever did not play yesterday therefore had the chance to thrill his supporters once again on the sidelines of his long ball.
Obviously, as in 2019, Yadier Molina got in front of the plate to delay the game and force the fans to applaud the star before his presence at bat.
The two players took the opportunity to chat a bit.
Obviously, this has something to rekindle the fans’ desire to see Molina, Pujols and Adam Wainwright (who has confirmed today to want to launch in 2022) to complete a last lap together in 2022 in Saint-Louis.
It would be magic.
The one who is now at 679 career homers should play next year and he wants to come back to Saint-Louis.
The ball is in the court of the Cardinals. The latter do not want to offer him a contract without knowing if he could have regular playing time – not necessarily often, but regularly.
