On this day in 2011 Albert Pujols hit three home runs - A Hunt and Peck

For those that might have forgotten: in 2011 the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series. It was a postseason run for the ages with a just-as-exciting finish. The Cardinals would go on to win the World Series in seven games against the Texas Rangers, but en route to that conclusion, the two teams faced off in Arlington for Game 3.

The game ended in a bit of a blowout, but was actually a close game until the sixth inning. Allen Craig started off the scoring with a homer in the first inning, then both teams were quieted until breaking out in the fourth.
