Albert Pujols Quotes on Fathers (2 Quotes)

In Washington, you thought I was probably pushing a little bit. Sometimes you're going to push. Like my dad was telling me You're going to drive in a lot, and you're going to leave a lot on base. You always leave more on base. You always make more outs than hits. That's why this game is almost even.

I try to be patient at the plate and draw my walks like I did with runners at first and second. We got four runs in that inning. That's the key. If I'd tried to come out of the strike zone, I probably would have hit into a double play. That's the last thing I want to do. I want to be patient at the plate, just try to see the ball and, like my dad would say, take what they give you.
