Albert Pujols Great Quotations

Those guys had great years, either of them could have won the award. You couldn't go wrong with any of those guys.

We don't talk about that, ... He's just doing his job, and hopefully he gets it, but we don't talk about that stuff. We let you guys talk about that. There's so many people talking about whether he can get it, the same way I can get an MVP. We don't care about that. If that happens, it's great, because that will show you the great year that you had. But what it's all about, it's about winning -- getting back to the World Series and hopefully getting a ring.

Who cares about my home run? I knew you were going to come to that. That's not what you play for. Home runs never mean more than a win. It would have been great if I would have hit it and we would have won. It was just another home run for me. It wasn't enough to help my team win.

I know the talent that he's got, and it's about time for him to start swinging the bat, because he has some opportunity. I think he has done a great job for us the last couple years we've had him. When we've put him out there to play defense, pinch-run or pinch-hit, anything, he's always done a great job for us.

I know they're going through a tough time. It's terrible to see a great player like that going down, but that's going to happen in your career.

It's great to have my name with those guys, the superstars, great players, All-Stars. But my job is to help my team to win and that's what I did.

It's just an honor to get this award. I want thank all the players. It shows a lot of respect that the players have for me. There were so many players that had a great year.
