O’Neill: Hornsby - Musial - Pujols: The Greatest Cardinal?

Thankfully...Dal Maxvill and his VigRx OPS Plus fueled bat are here to answer!

For rational minds, these conversations are destined to have a “chicken or the egg” quality. A comparison of Musial and Pujols, statistically and periodically, is imperfect and illogical on multiple levels. You can begin with one batted lefthanded, the other bats right ... and you can go from there.

Musial’s parallel seasons are now some 60 years removed. They took place before television, before West Coast travel, before double-knit fabrics, before steroids, before sacrifice flies, before and after integration, before Dominicans such as Pujols played in the major leagues.

..."You couldn’t pick two better ones, both on and off the field,” said former Cardinals player and executive Dal Maxvill, who played with Musial late in his career and has watched Pujols develop from afar. “Wouldn’t it be fun to have a ball club where you could put Pujols at first and put Stan in left, and have fun watching everyone try to get them out?”

...In a texting, Twittering, information-insatiable society, where memories run short and hyperbole runs thick, those numbers are promoting Pujols to legendary heights. His name now surfaces in conversations about the best hitters to ever play major league baseball. Some might even presume a third MVP trophy would put him top shelf in that “Greatest Cardinal” debate.
