60 Minutes segment on Pujols

Rob Kremer1,000+ posts

60 Minutes did an extremely complimentary story on Albert Pojols that aired tonight. It was almost over the top in its praise for him.

Not just the baseball numbers (although they did a good job of putting his first 10 MLB years in perspective.) But all the charity work he does, his faith, his clean lifestyle, etc.

Pretty cool.

Very impressive...

...the salary issues and grudge about "only" being drafted in the 13th round are a worrysome and curious disconnect to the story...but you'd have to believe that they will be worked out...given the character and stated values.

I thought it was a great story. And, it was factual...so if it's over the top it's because he's an over the top individual. I love the work he does without seeking the publicity... He's a top notch individual, baseball or not.

I thought it was a very nice profile of one of the good guys in MLB. He seems to be a class act in every way, a true good guy.

Pretty cool.

I had the great pleasure of meeting him in the St. Louis clubhouse in the Summer of 2005. After watching him interact with a group of nine year old kids for 30 minutes, I was blown away by his character. He is a polite, generous man. I've been singing his praises since that meeting and was happy to see the 60 minutes feature.

That's not a good fit for a Cubs team if he decides to go in that direction.

Loved the segment. What a guy! I ran upstairs to tell my son, but he already had it on.

He (my son) is doing a research project on how the steroid era has forever tainted baseball. Pujols gives us hope that we can have a post-steroid era that brings back the heros.
