Albert Pujols seeking a new beginning with Los Angeles Angels – MLB Update
Former St. Louis Cardinals’ ace Albert Pujols has said after arriving in the Los Angeles Angels that he is aiming high for his new beginning in Southern California.
Pujols, who was introduced to the general public on Saturday and given the Angels’ jersey #5, said in a news conference in California in-front of many reporters that he is happy over his decision to take his talents into another Major League’s top ranked
team and has very optimistic feelings that his career will flourish in the upcoming seasons with full swing.
Apart from many questions, several journalists also asked him about the reaction in St. Louis Cardinals and their loyal fans who acted very aggressively on his departure. Pujols not only answered very humbly but he stated with total dominion of his personal
character and explained briefly that he is not one who prefers money on the game but respects the dignity of baseball in a broader sense.
He said, “I know people back in the city of St. Louis think it's all about the money and are upset about that, I have all the offers out there for a lot of money. They're calling me 'liar' and all that stuff. That's all good. I went through that when I made
the decision. It was tough. I know what they're going through. They're losing somebody that has been part of the community. And I feel for that. My wife and I felt that pain, too.”
During the press conference, Pujols thanked the Angels entire management and said that they all made him feel very comfortable from negotiation’s table to signing the final contract which happened to be one of the biggest contracts of American Sports including
NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS and MLB.
Pujols signed with the Angels last week for a massive $254 million in a ten year deal and that was enough to blister the whole baseball world with an instant jolt.
Many believe that Pujols’ arrival will make the Angels stronger now and that he has a huge chance in the next season to show the world a different spirit that will define their upturn ability with style.
