I have not been a fan of Pujols the personality since 2001, when my wife and I travelled to St Louis and saw two Cardinals games (they played the Giants). During BP of the Saturday evening game, we were down at the railing beside right field, along with at least 10-12 kids and some other adults, getting autographs from McGwire, LaRussa, and some of the relievers, when Albert walked by. All of the kids were screaming at him to come over and sign something for them, begging him to, and he just kept on strolling by, with a smirk on his face and not even a glance over at all of these kids. Just didnt seem like he gave a crap about these kids with that attitude. And this was when he was a rookie!!
