The Albert Pujols Departure

Tonight there are many thoughts going through my mind but the main one is of Albert Pujols. I am a die hard Cardinals fan and have been a fan of Mr. Pujols since his entrance into Major League Baseball. This departure from the Cardinals was at first hard to take and was actually saddening news. But after looking at the whole situation it is probably best he signed with the Angels especially for the amount of money they gave him. I have great respect for Albert and the Christian man that he is. I think he will use this money wisely and will be able to add to his foundation. Now with everyone who seemingly "Hates" him makes no sense at all. Facebook and Twitter exploded with people who call themselves fans but are bashing Albert. I think everyone needs to look at this deal in a much smaller term to understand. Say your boss offers you a promotion in a different city doing the same job but for a much greater amount of money. What do you do? Most people will take that new job especially if they want to get ahead in this world. A lot of people forget that baseball, although it is a sport, it is still a job for those who play and it is also a business. Teams like the Cardinals know their fiscal responsibilities and know how much they can afford and 250+ Million dollars over 10 years is way too much. The Cardinals will be successful this season and could possibly make it back to the World Series. Albert Pujols I thank you for your years of service with the Cardinals and I wish you 10 years of success with the Angels. I also hope you come back and retire in STL. Most importantly Albert please continue to be a man of God and lead people to Christ. All of the hype over baseball is only temporary and heaven is for eternity! It might be time for everyone to check their priorities and realize the only thing that really matters in this world is our Savior Jesus Christ. God Bless you all and thanks for reading.
