If the Angels are thinking about one day honoring Albert Pujols with a statue, there is something they should know.
There already is one. It is 10 feet tall, bronze and stands outside a Sheraton hotel in suburban St. Louis.
"Lots of people in St. Louis are still excited about what he's doing, and still wishing it could be here," said Brad Thompson, a St. Louis media personality who once pitched for the Cardinals.
It's already essentially retired. The Cardinals have not allowed anyone to wear it since he left town for Anaheim seven seasons ago.
