In one of the most unusual at-bats of his Hall of Fame career, Ted Simmons stepped in for the Cardinals’ cleanup hitter against a pitcher who didn’t expect to be used in relief and hit a grand slam, accounting for all the runs in the game.

Albert Pujols-Mania Produced Good, But Not Huge, TV Ratings
Pujols-mania last weekend in St. Louis was great for Cardinals ticket sales and generating revenue for downtown establishments but was a mixed bag in television ratings.

Heartfelt Weekend For Albert Pujols
In perhaps the most surreal moment of the weekend series, a sellout crowd of St. Louis Cardinals fans chanted for Albert Pujols in the 8th inning with their team already trailing and the bases loaded for the Angels. Unless the two teams meet in the World Series, it will likely be his final at-bat in front of them.

Albert Pujols Draws Crowd For BP
After a rain afternoon, the weather finally cooperated and allowed for Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels to take batting practice on the field at Busch Stadium today. This was the first time in the series the team had been able to do so. After taking his cuts in the cage, Pujols treated fans to an extended autograph session as he worked his way along the line of people on the field, but also stepped into the green seats to meet even more.

Albert Pujols Returns To Busch Stadium This Weekend, But He Never Really Left St. Louis
The last time he played at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals won their 11th World Series title. For the first time in eight years, Albert Pujols makes his return to St. Louis this weekend. And even though he’s with Los Angeles, Pujols is still making a difference off the field in St. Louis.
