Reviews

[Daniel Quiroz]

I really liked this book because it showed how great he was and still is.It showed one of the greatest rookie years ever,Albert Pujols in 2001.Here are some stats:37HR,472B,130RBI's,and 112Runs.He was also 4th in MVP voting in 2001,i think he should have won instead of Barry Bonds because he did steroids but whatever.It also talked about his personal life as a kid playing baseball with a stick and a lime.He eventually won his MVP award in 2005.Today he is arguebly the best player in MLB.
