Albert Pujols was drafted in the 13th round of the 1999 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals, with the 402nd overall pick. However, Pujols initially turned down a $10,000 bonus and opted to play for the Hays Larks in Hays, Kansas in Jayhawk League of the National Baseball Congress instead. The Cardinals increased their bonus offer to $60,000; Pujols signed, and was assigned to the minor leagues.
In 2000, Pujols played for the Peoria Chiefs of the single-A Midwest League, where he was voted league MVP. Pujols quickly progressed through the ranks of the St. Louis farm clubs, first at the Potomac Cannons in the high-A Carolina League, and then with the Memphis Redbirds in the Class AAA Pacific Coast League.
