Albert Passes The Mick

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Together, they hit
1196 home runs.

But I hated
Mickey Mantle
because I loved
Willie Mays.

If you do not know which is which then I am
insanely jealous of you because I know
how blissful ignorance can be.

But this photograph is almost as old as President Obama.

I loved Willie then when he had a guy named God
sitting at his right hand. Today, my affection
for the octogenarian "Giant" is not
an active baseball love.

Today, I will settle
for Albert–as in Pujols.

I do not know who sits
at his right hand but
Albert is an Angel
who hit a very
special HR
last week:

Pujols Launches 537th Home Run

To pass Mantle on All-Time List
