How Big a Surprise Are the St. Louis Cardinals?

The NL Central was supposed to belong to the Chicago Cubs. They were the ones with the loaded lineup and enough pitching to carry them to another division crown.

A month into the season, there is a team with a loaded lineup and pitching to back it up, but instead of Cubbie Blue, this team wears Cardinal Red.

Currently at 17-8, the Cardinals have ridden the torrid start of reigning MVP Albert Pujols. With nine home runs, many believe Pujols is more focused than ever before.

Albert Pujols Is The Best Hitter To Ever Play Baseball

When it is all said and done, and his career is over, Albert Pujols will be the best hitter to ever play the game of baseball. He is 29 years old, had 2 MVP awards, and World Series ring, two National League pennants, and a 7-time all star. Here are some of his career statistics-

 

  • Batting Average- .344
  • Hits- 1,531
  • Doubles- 342
  • Home Runs- 318
  • RBI's- 977
  • Slugging Percentage- .624
