The 2021 season will be the final one of Albert Pujols' legendary career.
Deidre Pujols, who is the slugger's wife, announced as much on her Instagram page. Albert responded to the following message with emojis of hearts:
"Today is the first day of the last season of one of the most remarkable careers in sports! I’m talking about my husband @albertpujols who since the time he was a child would eat, sleep, and breath this sport. I have had the privilege to walk out 23 years of this baseball journey and it is with such a full heart that I speak a blessing over him as he finishes this good race!
