My First Time – Albert Pujols – April 2, 2001
The Setting – Coors Field. Denver, CO.
From Pujols – ‘Bobby Bonilla wasn’t going to be able to play right away because he was hurt, and that’s what opened up the spot for them to take me. I gave myself permission to be excited then’.
The Boxscore – Rockies 8, Cardinals 0. Pujols goes 1-for-3 while playing left field on Opening Day for the Cardinals.
