Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols starts with a win – MLB News
It seems that the Los Angeles Angels’ star slugger Albert Pujols is paying off well even at the start of 2012 Major League Baseball season as he hit two doubles during the very first hours of play against the Kansas City Royals on Friday receiving enormous amount of appreciation from many baseball experts.
After the game, several reporters caught him and started pouring questions regarding his tremendous start in 2012 and especially with the Angels franchise.
Pujols replied with confidence and said, "I wanted to do something special but that's the way it goes. We got a win. I think that's the most important thing. As good as he felt in spring training, Friday's hitless outing had to come as something of a surprise.”
He added, “I kept looking at the bat. You try to put a good swing every at-bat, every pitch, and sometimes you come through and sometimes it doesn't happen, part of the game. It won't be the last time this year I go 0-for-3. It's something that happened. I'm glad we win and we've got 161 more to go."
Albert Pujols with a ten year contract in hand, came into new MLB season with enormous self-assurance. He is coming with a tremendous play during the whole Spring Training games in Arizona. His performance was impressive as he always reached the practice sessions on time.
In the meanwhile, on a different perspective, Pujols is considered the main force behind who lifted the 2011 World Series title defeating the Texas Rangers in the best of seven which also said to be the toughest best of seven final series in recent times.
Some argue that the St. Louis Cardinals are somewhat lacking at strategic level where they could not even retain a player like Pujols who literally single handedly outplayed the Rangers in the final encounter.
However, since Albert Pujols have come into the Angels’ franchise, the things also started working for them. They Angels, right now, not only sitting in comfortable place, but they are also enjoying the presence of a world class player who possesses the abilities to win games for them on consistent bases.
