After having a Hall of Fame-worthy career and staying in the game for over two decades, baseball legend Albert Pujols hung his cleats as MLB 2022 regular season ended. The former slugger retired with the same team he debuted in 2001, the St Louis Cardinals. Pujols ended his career by winning the Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2022. 

It’s been only a couple of months, but the former slugger is back once again. However, this time not on the diamond, but in an NBA arena. Last night, Team Dwayne went against Team Ryan during the NBA’s celebrity All-Star game. There, Pujols stole the show as he seized the ball in a pretty clean manner. It became possible only through the Grammy-winning rapper 21 Savage. With the neat steal, Big Al showed that he might have left baseball, but he still is an athlete. Thereby giving his fans a treat after retirement.

Albert Pujols still knows how to beat his opponent

Saying that baseball fans are happy would be an understatement after watching his wonderful play. Notably, even in his last playing season, Pujols increased his followers tenfold by hitting over 700 home runs in his career. And now, this remarkable performance in the NBA All-Star game!

Notably, almost every baseball fan enjoyed watching Pujols stealing the show. Meanwhile, there were a few who thought Pujols and 21 Savage playing together was something they thought they’d never see, and yet it happened. 

Pujols is enjoying his retirement

Before starting his last season with the Cardinals, Pujols went through a divorce from his wife in April 2022. Shortly after divorcing, the former athlete announced his relationship with journalist Nicole Fernandez. After Pujols hit his career’s 700th home run, Fernandez put on an Instagram story showing her love for him.
