Albert Pujols, one of the all-time greatest Cardinals, began his managing career earlier this week, becoming the skipper for Leones del Escogido in Santo Domingo. As a child growing up in the Dominican Republic, Escogido was Pujols' favorite team, and the Leones have stayed in his heart.
Pujols won his first game. Congratulations! Taking this job was his first step in preparing to manage an MLB team one day. When that will happen, I do not know. But Pujols and St. Louis fans have an extraordinary relationship, and it would be silly to dismiss the idea of bringing him back here as manager to work with Chaim Bloom and lead the revival of Cardinals baseball. Pujols is the smartest baseball player I've ever known. He's one of the most distinguished players in MLB history. When he walks into a stadium, or a clubhouse, everyone is in awe. He has a towering presence, loves to work with players young and old, and his knowledge of the game is immense. Pujols as Cardinals manager? It's something to think about. That's why I'm wearing a Leones del Escogido vintage cap in this video.
