Albert Pujols is arguably the best baseball player of this generation. The Los Angeles Angels first baseman is in his 21st season, and in that time he's stacked up a body of work that will likely make him a first ballot Hall of Famer.
He won two World Series championships three National League Most Valuable Player awards with the St. Louis Cardinals. He's a 10-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove Award winner, six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2001. He's also won the Hank Aaron Award twice, in 2003 and 2009.
His accomplishments on the field speak for themselves, but he's equally as proud about his work off the field. That's most of what he talks with Scott Linebrink about in this conversation. Pujols and and his wife Deidre run the Pujols Family Foundation, which bills itself as "a national not-for-profit agency that exists to honor God and strengthen families through our works, deeds and examples." He won the Roberto Clemente Award in 2008.
In this conversation, he also shares his testimony about how and when he gave his life to God and how his faith shapes everything he does.
