Pujols

Albert Pujols got his 600th homer last year, and he's within 10 hits of 3,000. He'll probably get his 2,000th RBI this year, too.

But reading an article about him, yesterday, made me admire him more.

He has never struck out 100 times in a season.

For a guy known for his power, that stat is amazing. Yes, he's more than a power hitter. His .305 lifetime batting average tells us that. But when guys that big swing that hard and don't have a 100 strikeout season on their resume, that's really impressive.

17 years in the majors and no failed drug test, either. I'm rooting for this guy. I always have.
