Cardinals fans give Albert Pujols a standing ovation in his return to Busch Stadium

chris collinsworth: NOW HERES A GUYYYYYYYYYYY

Respects to Molina he will never give that base up except for a brother

fck winning a ring, i think getting a standing ovation from the opposing team is a better honor, i cant even imagine that feeling

the CARDINAL FANS are the best fans without equal...

Can you imagine how many clock violations that would've been today! 😬💀

Albert was fighting back the tears.

Hopefully we can pause the pitch clock for future moments like these.

This is what class looks like

Why did bater throw that ball to the crowd???
I’m a die hard cubs fan from chicago with such a luv for the sport (baseball n life are so similar/baseball is literally life)n every player who contributes to it as albert did so of course I teared up watchin this,it’s always amazing n full circle to see. But it’s automatic that u keep that ball for him 🤔

Wow….
You can’t get a feeling like that in other sport.
Great stuff.

I got chills

Can you even imagine if there was a clock violation on this???

Yadier and the Ump were very respectful and classy during this Albert Pujols moment.

How can you not be romantically involved with baseball when there is simply heartwarming moments like these? Amazing for him

So glad this happened before 2020

Awesome moment.

I say this as a committed fan of another NL team: Cardinals fans are the absolute best, the gold standard the rest of us aspire to.

lets be honest, Albert left for the money, we offered him alot, but his home was always in St Louis, he knew it the fans knew it and when he came back the Cardinals fans treated him right. Theirs alot of shit fans in sports, especially baseball, but when it mattered the cards fans chose to be thankful instead of ungrateful. Thats respectable.

The uniform may Say "Angels" but he will always be a "Cardinal" to me. Best fans, best stadium, best baseball city.....We Love Our St Louis Cardinals

It is 2022 and this has aged well.
