Pujols is an absolute STUD!!  He's going to get walked by the time he hits 50 so i doubt he will get the record?

pujols just lies about his age, not what he fuels his body with...

haha i guess I didn't catch the story on his age got a link for that? With the whole steroid thing to me steroids will always be part of the game. Last year in the minors they suspended 38 guys in a day I'm pretty sure a good number of them are new school guys. Is Puljos a steroid user?? I have no clue and don't care unless proven otherwise. Puljos was also drafted in 1999 around the time of Sosa and McGwire so ya just never know.

from everything i've heard (i don't have a specific article that i can refer you to) pujols is two to three years older than his listed age.

it might not sound like much...but considering he made the leap from AA ball to the majors it kind of makes sense.

supposively, it isn't just a problem with pujols, a lot of foreign players aren't exactly accurate about their age. it kind of makes sense...if you have a 25-year-old putting up huge numbers and he tells you he is 23...suddenly you have a phenom on your hands.

especially when the american players are scouted to death and every fault is exposed and analyzed, it gives them a certain edge.

it certainly isn't to take anything away from pujols...he is a flat out stud and should be considered an intentional walk every time he comes to the plate.

but other than the nba this is about as conspiracy theory as i get.

Whats wrong with the NBA, other than they walk with the ball and set moving picks and dont keep their pivot foot and they fight and argue and cry all the time. At least they play for the love of the game and not for the money right?
