Albert Pujols Quotes

In this section, we put together a selection of quotes and comments made by the great Albert Pujols himself.

“A lot of people said I could be a good player. I just wanted the opportunity to show it. I just let it happen.”

“I don’t know why people say I’m not supposed to be doing what I’m doing. I’m just trying to do my job. I’m blessed, and I’m glad that I’m blessed.”

“I don’t think there’s anything out there I can be afraid of.”

"If I need to help my team and play a different position for that game because somebody is hurt or they want to give a day off to somebody, I'll do it."

"I know I'm good when I'm hitting the ball the other way — that's Albert Pujols."

“I’m a really smart player. If you tell me something, I get it quickly. If there is something wrong with my hitting, tell me what’s wrong and I’ll pick it up right away. That’s the best thing I have going for me, my ability to listen to a coach and fix what I’m doing wrong.”

"I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes for me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game."

“In my heart and mind, I know I can hit anybody. I’m always relaxed. It’s hard to explain. It’s like playing with my kids. It feels natural.”

"I thought about it a lot (losing the 2002 NLCS). It's something you have to go home and wrap it up because if you keep thinking about it, you're going to take that to Spring Training and you're not going to be able to concentrate on your work."

“I try to spend as much time as possible with God and my family. That’s more important than anything I’m doing in baseball.”
