Albert Pujols confident that 2023 Cardinals will overcome slow start

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:33:23 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Albert Pujols knows the grind of a Major League Baseball season just about as well as anyone. Well before his special sendoff season last year, he learned that things don't always start as planned.In 2011, a Pujols-backed St. Louis Cardinals team started 4-7 and only stood four games above .500 in mid-August before a miraculous run to the postseason. The Cardinals grinded through plenty of adversity and won the World Series in the final year of his first stint with St. Louis. "At the end of the day, it's not how you start, it's how you finish," said Pujols in a Zoom call with St. Louis media members earlier this week. It's a sentiment he thinks will hold true for this year's St. Louis Cardinals squad. The team begins a 10-game road trip Friday behind an 8-11 record, somewhat amending one of the team's slowest starts in nearly a half-century.
