More quotes by Albert Pujols
I don't know why people say I'm not supposed to be doing what I'm doing. I'm just trying to do my job. I'm blessed, and I'm glad that I'm blessed.
Albert Pujols
I try to spend as much time as possible with God and my family. That's more important than anything I'm doing in baseball.
Albert Pujols
People ask me if I believe how quickly my career has taken off. I just tell them that Jesus Christ is my strength. God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. That is more important than anything I could ever do in baseball.
Albert Pujols
I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.
Albert Pujols
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
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.
Albert Pujols
I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time.
Albert Pujols
I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.
Albert Pujols
What I lose today I can't make up tomorrow. I have to do it today.
Albert Pujols
Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.
Albert Pujols
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.
Albert Pujols
You know your talent. You know if you work hard, your hard work is going to pay off one day.
Albert Pujols
I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.
Albert Pujols
When you get a walk-off homer, you get to do whatever you want. You need to be excited about it. You don't get too many of those, so you need to enjoy them when they come.
Albert Pujols
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
I don't play for records.
Albert Pujols
What motivates me more than money are God and my family.
Albert Pujols
I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic.
Albert Pujols
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.
Albert Pujols
Every year it gets tougher and tougher. Mentally and physically. That's why you need to train and prepare.
