The post-season is about to start, and it is time for the teams to gear up all their strength for winning the World Series. That does not mean the games before the post-season won’t be entertaining. Sunday night’s Cardinals game against the Pittsburgh Pirates made sure to give the fans one hell of an entertaining game. Credits for the same goes to none other than Albert ‘The Machine’ Pujols. 

He is the man who has lived up to his nickname, especially this season. Not only did he create history this year, but also helped his team to the playoffs by clinching the 2022 National League Central Division title.  

Albert Pujols pulled off a great statistic!

Sunday’s game at the Busch Stadium was the Cardinals’ final regular season home game at the stadium. Big Al, at his first at-bat at the Busch Stadium on April 9, 2001, had hit a home run. 

When Pujols came for his last at-bat at Busch Stadium 21 years later, he hit another home run to mark the occasion. But October 2 was not special only because of Pujols. The day was special because of Pujols’ teammates, Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright. Also, Pujols, who turned 42 this year, and Molina, 40, have made their intentions pretty clear of retiring post this season. Therefore, it was not only Pujols but Molina’s last game as well.
