Pujols big night in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series can only be compared to prior performances by the immortal Babe Ruth and the legendary Reggie Jackson.
That’s how big his night was.
It was a Cooperstown night.
And his manager Tony La Russa thinks it was bigger than that.
“I mean with Babe and Reggie, that’s good company right there,” Cardinals manaer Tony La Russa said. “According to some of the stats it’s the greatest of any World Series in 120 years. I think the best thing to do is you make that statement and ask somebody, ‘Okay you show me one that was better.’ ”
Pujols completed what was arguably the greatest offensive performance in World Series history by lining his third homer into the front of the left-field stands off left-hander Darren Oliver for a 16-7 victory. His 14 total bases stand alone as a record. The Rangers super-bullpen has apparently met its Kryptonite.
