He doesn’t think about hitting home runs” Albert Pujols’ teammate Nolan Arenado said, “I’m probably going to say something people don’t like but he doesn’t think about hitting home runs. That’s what he tells me, and I believe him. With the way he swings, the way he works, talking to him, he says he never thinks about it.”

“And he’s not going to change what’s worked for him. It’s about getting on top of the baseball, back spinning the baseball and wherever it goes, it goes. He talks the talk and walks the walk with saying those things. And I really believe him.”

“If you wrote it up perfectly, this is what you would write” Triple Crown competitor Paul Goldschmidt said about his teammate Albert Pujols, “There’s been three or four home runs I’ve been absolutely amazed at. The [Drew] Smyly one at his eyes was impressive. The one in Pittsburgh. That one passed A-Rod (on the all-time home runs list) and was a game winner.”

“There was another game winner when it was 0-0 and he homered. And then the ones against the Padres. A two-homer game … kind of like storybook. That’s what I’ll remember. If you wrote it up perfectly, this is what you would write: Albert with the game on the line — and he actually comes through. Amazing.”
