Albert Pujols is soon joining the middle-aged man club of retired baseball players. Many of those same men can't fathom doing what he is: competing in the Home Run Derby at age 42. 'They don’t question whether he belongs ... They question his sanity.'
would be participating in his fifth and final Home Run Derby on Monday at Dodger Stadium, fans’ reactions generally formed into two camps. One camp criticized the inclusion of a platoon player with six homers this season as a wasted spot. The other countered that a hitter with 685 homers, fifth-most in baseball history, was as worthy as a candidate could be.
Just the thought of taking hundreds of hacks in the batting cages and scores of max-effort Derby swings induces a wince from those barely older than Pujols.
