Albert Pujols Objects To Angels' "El Hombre" Billboards, Does Not Object To "Big A" Billboard

Some of the billboards feature the words “El Hombre,” a title that Pujols has shied away from because of his relationship with Stan Musial.

“Like I say, I haven’t talked to them, but I prefer not to use (El Hombre),” Pujols said Wednesday.

It’s an emotional issue for Pujols because he became acquainted with 90-year-old Musial in his 11 seasons playing in St. Louis. In 2010, Pujols asked St. Louis media and fans not to call him “El Hombre.”

Showing respect for a great man and baseball player is one thing, but if you ask me, Pujols should be more offended by the “BIG A” billboards. Sure he’s put on a little weight in the last few years, but come on.
