A Quick Albert Pujols Story

I was on my way to San Diego to cover the St. Louis Cardinals' playoff workout before Game 3 of the 2005 NLDS, but my flight was delayed. This was not good, especially since I needed a featured interview to run during my special from the booth that night.

Remembering The Night Albert Pujols Broke Brad Lidge

It's not often that a home run makes not one but two cities shake. On October 17th, Albert Pujols did just that with a mammoth blast off of Houston closer Brad Lidge. Pujols didn't hit the bull. He did Crash Davis one better. He hit the train tracks on top of the stadium, nearly sending the baseball out of the stadium.
