Defensive Positioning |
A superstar is born
 Albert
Pujols has made a true believer out of manager Tony La Russa
"A lot of guys have talent and play below it," La Russa told the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. "This guy keeps maximizing his talent and keeps wanting to
learn. For anybody, he sets the bar. The way he works, the way he's
willing to learn, he's the best player I ever managed." Pujols is leading
the major leagues with a .389. average (entering play June 10), and now
he's at the head of La Russa's class, in front of the likes of Mark
McGwire, Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson and Dave Stewart. |
