Albert Pujols said he considered an early retirement in June after a rough start to the season
. The 42-year-old experienced a stunning resurgence in the second-half of the year and went on to become the fourth player ever to hit 700 career home runs.
“No, I did, I swear I did,” Pujols said of contemplating retirement. “There were some times when I [asked] myself that, many times.” “When you have good people around you and they are encouraging you and you realize that God has opened so many doors for you, man, it puts things back into perspective,” Pujols told MLB.com. “I decided, ‘I’m going to stick with it!’ I knew sooner or later it was going to come and turn around for me, because it can’t be like it was all year long.”
