Albert Pujols graduated high school a semester early in 1998 and took a scholarship to play a season at Maple Woods Community College in Kansas City🔥⚾️ Pujols was born and raised in Santo Domingo, DR but moved to Missouri with relatives for high school🇩🇴 He put up crazy stats in his one college season but wasn’t selected until the 13th round by the Cardinals with the 402nd overall pick in the 1999 MLB draft💀He dominated the minor leagues, debuted on Opening Day in 2001, and the rest his history🐐 11x All-Star, 2x World Series Champ, 3x MVP, and the list goes on 🏆 So many teams missed out on one of the greatest baseball players to ever live… #collegebaseball #mlb #baseball #stlouiscardinals #albertpujols
