DALLAS (AP)—Albert Pujols (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6619/)[/URL] could have been a wealthy Cardinal for life, planning for the day his statue would be erected outside Busch Stadium next to those of Stan Musial, Bob Gibson and the other St. Louis greats.
Instead, exactly six weeks after leading the Cardinals to a second title in one of the most thrilling World Series ever, he decided to accept the second-highest contract in baseball history for a new future in southern California with the [URL="http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/laa/"]Los Angeles Angels (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6619/news).
The three-time NL MVP agreed Thursday to a $254 million, 10-year contract with the Angels, leaving behind a heartbroken fan base by jilting one of the sport’s traditional teams for an expansion club with only one championship in its half-century.....snip~
What a bunch of garbage. Do you see this? 254 Mil just for playing baseball. It's not even a real Contact Sport. Think baseball players should get payed this much money for playing this Sport? :huh:
To top it off he walks away from one a place where he Could have it all as the Star for that City. No loyalty to anything but the Almighty Dollar! :undecided:
