ANAHEIM, Calif. • One of David Freese’s fans who couldn’t attend his homecoming this past weekend at Busch Stadium still watched from afar and was moved by the standing ovation the former Cardinal received from the St. Louis crowd.
It’s a moment he, Albert Pujols, can’t be sure he’ll get.
The schedule continues to work against him.
“To tell you the truth, it is what it is, but I would love to get back to St. Louis, to play a game there,” said Pujols, a three-time MVP who signed with the Los Angeles Angels after the 2011 season.
