Albert Pujols tried pitching?


There isn't much left for St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols to accomplish in his career, but he tried his hand at something new Sunday - pitching.

The 42-year-old entered the game as a reliever in the top of the ninth inning with the Cardinals leading the San Francisco Giants 15-2. After recording two outs and putting a pair on base, Giants outfielder Luis Gonzalez (who also pitched in the game) gave Pujols a rude welcome to the mound by blasting a three-run dinger.
