A lot of people said I could be a good player. I just wanted the opportunity to show it. I just let it happen.

At the end of the day, when all is said and done playing this game ... it doesn't matter what you did in the field, it's what you do off the field and the lives that you touch off the field.
Albert Pujols
Image
I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.
Albert Pujols
Image
I learned to play (baseball) on the streets in the Dominican Republic when I was 8 yrs old.
Albert Pujols
Image
It doesn't matter if I hit a home run. It doesn't matter if we win a game. It doesn't matter if I go four for four. Whatever happens at the end of the day, as long as I glorify His name, that's what it's all about.
Albert Pujols

I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.
Albert Pujols
Image
I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes for me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game.

Baseball is simply my platform to elevate Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Image
I know I'm good when I'm hitting the ball the other way - that's Albert Pujols.

I don't play for records.

Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.

What motivates me more than money are God and my family.

I thought about it a lot (losing the 2002 NLCS). It's something you have to go home and wrap it up because if you keep thinking about it, you're going to take that to Spring Training and you're not going to be able to concentrate on your work.

Image
To me playing third base and left field and moving all over the place, it doesn't bother me because I still have to grab that bat and hit no matter where I play.
Albert Pujols
Image
I'm going to be prayerful about it. Whatever decision I make hopefully is the best decision I can make for my family and the fans and everybody.
Albert Pujols
Image
I'm a really smart player. If you tell me something, I get it quickly. If there is something wrong with my hitting, tell me what's wrong and I'll pick it up right away. That's the best thing I have going for me, my ability to listen to a coach and fix what I'm doing wrong.

If it weren't for Jesus, I would not be where I am today and my life would be without purpose. I've heard kids say they want to be just like me when they grow up. They should know I want to be just like Jesus.
Albert Pujols
Image
In my heart and mind, I know I can hit anybody. I'm always relaxed. It's hard to explain. It's like playing with my kids. It feels natural.
Albert Pujols
Image
If I need to help my team and play a different position for that game because somebody is hurt or they want to give a day off to somebody, I'll do it.

Every year it gets tougher and tougher. Mentally and physically. That's why you need to train and prepare.
Albert Pujols
Image
Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.
