@@thetraveller334 more like *not a toxic Giants fan. The game was a blow out, and we got to see one of the greatest players pitch giving Giants a fun opportunity to score. Idk what you are talking about 🤡
That was awesome! Pujols is a legend. We Dodgers fans loved him on our team last year, and miss him but so happy he gets to end his career like this! Kudos to the Cardinals!
The great Ted Williams might have made that list as well if he had not lost 5 of his prime Baseball years to military service (he ended up with 521 home runs lifetime). He pitched 2 innings for the Red Sox against the Detroit Tigers in a 1940 game at Fenway (throwing 2 scoreless innings in relief, giving up 3 hits and even managing a strikeout), fairing somewhat better than Albert did today --- it was still fun to watch though.
Why do great hitters want to pitch? I mean, it's nice to give him the opportunity, but now he will retire with an ERA of 36.00. Ichiro also pitched an inning and gave up one run so his ERA is 9:00.
I just love that both teams could find some levity in this inning. It's an absolute blowout, and the team that is blowing you out puts a position player on the mound instead of the other way around, but they all had fun with it. Longoria asking for the ball after hitting the single, Pujols taking the last ball that he pitched in the game and just having an all around good time, despite the two home runs.
Fantastic!! Nice to see something like this happen, would love to have been there! He looked like he had a blast and probably will be the memory he talks about 20 years from now.
I'm an Angel fan who always appreciated Albert for his professionalism and approach to the game of baseball. He was a great mentor to Mike Trout and everyone in the Angel dugout. Thank you Albert you are truly a great player and person. HOF first ballot for sure my brother 🙏 nice pitching too, I heard the mit pop on one of those pitches don't worry about those home runs now you know it feels to pitch against you.
Wow, his ability to drop in a strike at 54 then pump it up to 70. Just shows how good MLB hitters are that they could even make contact against this guy.
Yes!! Nice to see some history made every now and then! How great was this??! Now I do not like either club but as a baseball fan thank you for this Cardinals! You have to love that even though it’s a blowout it was still fun for both sides not to mention the crowd was hyped! Albert Pujols is the man!!
It's always so much fun when a position player pitches. You just never know what they're going to throw, or where they're going to toss it. LOL Pujols actually did very well.
So awesome to see 2 teams having fun playing the game, I am a lifelong Dodgers fan and I can't believe I'm about to say this, but kudos to the Giants for being great sports in a runaway game and showing respect to Pujols...first ballot HOF player and an absolute class act.
to see Albert pujols pitch was another moment in my life I will never forget but here is a Pujols stroy that I dont love so much... Im a lifelong Cardinals fan and in 2001 (pujols rookie year) I was 13 and I was obsessed with baseball, (I still am) but you know what I mean, I played it, chased every minute of my life was baseball, in 01 I went to Albert Pujols bat day and I took a friend that wasnt really into baseball, well to were down by the dugout anf it was in july so it was very hot, well I left to buy us lemonade and when I came back my friend was 1 of about 15 people that Albert came out and signed my friends bat! my friend then the same day, after the game where the players come out to leave the stadium (you no longer can do this) and Albert came out, however on this time, I was on the wrong side (he only walked down 1 row and signed) I was on the opposite side. The worst part is after Albert came out, I heard the other team was signing autographs and some big names were out there, well when I came back to the Cardinals side, my friend TRADED his bat to some guy that took advantage of a kid and traded him a bat with NO auto on it and a ball with a bunch of relief pitchers autos on it, he heard the story about Albert signing the bat and when I left the guy told my friend he was getting the better deal, and got that bat and ran, I literally cried as I thought my buddy was going give it to me, he knew how much I loved Albert and He didnt collect Autos, cards etc, To this day I dont have an auto of pujols, I tried to get one years ago and got ripped on ebay, Its almost like my fav players auto is not destined 4 me. :( one day I hope to get one on a card or anything as long as it is real.I did go to fuji flim day in 01 and got some awesome 1 of kind pics of Albert, would love to get one those signed but I doubt Ill even get a auto of him at all but he will always be my fav player! go Cardinals!
My coach used to let me pitch in these situations. This makes me smile, Albert still enjoying the game is what it’s all about, have some fun out there boys 🇨🇦
@Rik Mehta First of all, I'm not bashing the guy for still being an amazing player in his 40s, I'm actually showering him with praise. Second, don't misuse my words, claiming that I "act like he's 97". I'm just giving kudos to the guy for still playing at a high level in his 40s. 🤦♀️
Dang, Albert gave up almost as many home runs in that inning as he's hit in his career. :P As an Angels fan, I'm happy Albert is back with the Cards. He looks rejuvenated. It's where he belongs. 👏
I was at this game with my brother, we had great seats over the second base. It was a fantastic game to see not just him pitch, but also Waino and Yadi make history. We chose to stick around and it definitely paid off, I remember earlier in the night telling him about Willians Astudillo's pitching career as just a funny bit of fact. But when Albert pitched every person was on their feet my whole section was looking at the speed counter more than the actual pitches, he must have averaged 40-45mph. Every pitch was special as it was fun but also bitter-sweet to an end of an era of great Cardinals players. The night will be something I will make sure to reminisce about in to old age.
As a Giants fan, I'm not upset about this. This was actually fun to watch, it reminds me of when the Panda (Pablo Sandoval) came out to pitched a perfect bottom of the 9th against LA in an Identical score.
Ichiro was a freak. Would always start batting practice with 5 straight homers, in any stadium, just to warm up. He could have easily hit 40+ every year, but just simply preferred to play small ball. He's still the only guy I've seen already starting to run out of the box when contact is made.
Ok this is good. Im a long time Astros fan that ball that he hit against Brad Lidge is still orbiting the earth. That home run killed us. He was and still is a great player good on him for even trying this.
I remember that. I was watching at the hotel in Orlando and the next day our flight home had a crew that was from Houston. When we landed in st Louis the flight attendant did the normal thank you and told us all remember let's go Astros. The whole plane bood him was 1 of the funnest flights.
@@dreislife693 yea that one hurt Bro. There were a few people that u never pitched to in those days if there was something on the line he was for sure one of them.
I don’t like how the giants hitters were actually trying to hit off him. Swing and miss on purpose and humor the man on his final season. Respect the legend.
I was at this game, a giants outfielder was pitching due to the lack of pitchers remaining. He was throwing 40-45, Then out of no where he pumped 82. 😂

"Whose gonna tell Albert he dont get a Save for this"🤣
Not only does he have an ERA - he has an ERA of 36! 😂😂😂
"Now he knows what it feels like to be on the other end!"
This is the fun side of baseball we need to see more often. Love how Longoria kept the ball. hopefully, he can get Albert to sign it haha
Agreed! Some clubs just have more "fun" and are more "relaxed" - like the Cards, Blue Jays vs some others on the E Coast I won't mention...

Nice that the Giants took this in good humor and not an insult.
