Albert Pujols is an idol of universal ball, fortunately with him the saying that no one is a prophet in his land does not apply, because this Friday the tough slugger has caused a wave of expectations and emotions for his incipient debut in the Dominican League of Professional Baseball (Lidom).
The premiere of the slugger on the Caribbean island will take place with Leones del Escogido, and it is expected to be as soon as this Sunday, the date on which a duel is scheduled against the historic rival of the hairy, the Tigres del Licey.
Wasting no time, Pujols this Friday makes his first batting practice.
In 21 years of career in the best baseball in the world, he accumulates numbers that already guarantee him a niche in the Hall of Fame: .297 average, 679 home runs, 1872, runs scored, 2150 RBIs, and a lifetime war of 99.6 .
Much was rumored this year that the merenguero would retire at the end of his 2021 performance in the Majors, however, with his foray into baseball in his country, it seems that retirement is not an immediate option.
