Aaron Gleeman, writing for The Hardball Times, posted an article yesterday singing the praises of Mr. Pujols. In it, Gleeman compares Pujols' accomplishments to those of DiMaggio, Foxx, Cobb, Mathews, Ott, Mantle, Williams, and A-Rod in celebration of Albert's 24th birthday (not without making a remark questioning that age, of course).

Also, over at ESPN.com, Tim Kurkjian praises Scott Rolen for his skill at breaking up the double play, with the requisite line about how Rolen "plays the game the way it's supposed to be played." Never mind taking out infielders, I'll take the .300/30/100 -- that's how the game's supposed to be played.
