What I lose today I can't make up tomorrow. I have to do it today.

You know your talent. You know if you work hard, your hard work is going to pay off one day.

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.

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

I don't want to be too stiff, because then my hands won't be as quick.

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

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

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
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.

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.

I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.

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.

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

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.

I don't play for records.

I have five young children, and I take being a role model very seriously.

It doesn't matter the numbers, it doesn't matter the records, it doesn't matter the money that you make. What matters is to raise that trophy and to be able to bring that smile to the city of St. Louis.
Albert Pujols
Image
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.

I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.
