One of the biggest days of the NFL season just got over and people are still reeling from the after-effects. After witnessing an edge-of-the-seat game, the KC Chiefs fans rejoiced, as the team emerged victorious against the Eagles. The audiences included everyone from fans to celebrities to personalities from other sports. One such name was the former MLB icon, Albert Pujols.

The former first baseman retired after the 2022 season, which means he has a bit of a freer schedule now. And he decided to spend that free time at one of the biggest events of American culture. Super Bowl LVII was truly a splendid game to be at. The Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ stole the show, even with an injured ankle. In addition to the game, there was Rihanna’s halftime performance, which is precisely what Pujols’ partner, Nicole Fernandez, seemed to be interested in!

And Albert Pujols jumped right on that train when he posed for a photo at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. He captioned a photo on his Instagram, “Excited to see my Chiefs at my first ever Super Bowl! @chiefs #SBLVII #ChiefsKingdom”.
