BBA--ANGELS-PUJOLS
DALLAS - Albert Pujols could have been a wealthy Cardinal for life, planning for the day his statue would be erected outside Busch Stadium next to those of Stan Musial, Bob Gibson and the other St. Louis greats.

Kudos to whoever posted a security guard to watch over the statue of Albert Pujols outside his suburban St. Louis restaurant Thursday, even if that Albert Pujols stands 10 feet tall, weighs 1,100 pounds and hardly needed any protection. Let it be a lesson to the people in charge of the Cardinals' baseball palace some 20 miles to the west. If only they'd paid more attention to the real-life version during the decade that Pujols toiled hard and honorably for the team, he might still be anchored there, too. Instead, the moment Pujols took flight for Anaheim, the landscape of baseball was drastically altered. By Sports Columnist Jim Litke.
