What was Albert Pujols's childhood like?

Answer 1

Albert Pujols had a very poor family and he had to use a stick as a bat and would wad up newspaper for a ball to play Baseball. For a glove he would either use his hands, fold up milk cartons or use anything that would protect his hands. The nearest ballpark was nine miles from his house and he had to walk to it. His father played softball for the Dominican Republic, spent the little money he made on alcohol. Young Albert would have to carry his heavy dad home from different bars.
