what was the segment about?

Mostly his off the field stuff.

A prom for kids with Down Syndrome.... his wife had a down syndrome kid before she met Albert and he just fell in love with her... now the Albert Pujols Foundation puts on the Prom every year.

His trip to the Dominican Republic... fixing up a baseball field... bringing tons of supplies and other stuff to local communities in DR.

Trip to Houston hospital to see a kid with brain tumor... gave him his bat from 400th HR.

Tough being a fan of someone who no one cares to interview huh?

Haters will always hate.

very well done story. How could you root against him? He and his wife are very caring people, which is a nice thing to see lately.

I just watched it as well. Good story. Pujols looks to be a real stand-up guy.

It was all about his off field stuff. He talked about his stats before the piece.... but not during.

 

[notjomommasclint]

they touched base on whats been going on in the game and his vow to take any test everday.

Lance Armstrong never failed a test. Let's see how that story ends.
