From Reddit, regarding Pujols

[ten ocho recon scout]

That... really puts it into perspective.

 

I dont think MASH lasted that long, or was as depressing and not entertaining at the end.

 

[T.G.]

I remember when Albert signed and color TV's were just hitting the market.

I can't believe it was only 185 GIDP's ago. Time really flies when you're truncating innings.

That was a big gidp.

wow, Pujols is 4 years younger than me but looks at least 50.  weird!

I was just starting high school when I added a hot rookie first basemen named Albert Pujols to my struggling fantasy roster. Now I’m old af.

[tdawg87]

I was so excited. We got one of the greatest players ever. Things were looking up.

Narrator: Things didn't go up.

Angels did improve after Albert left:

2021, with Pujols: .464

2021, after Pujols: .475

could you imagine if pujols somehow would have ended the game last night with a HR against STL?

[HanfordGuy]

I remember watching the moon landing and thinking about where I was when they shot President Kennedy and then the Angels signed Pujols. Wow, time does fly.

A major MISTAKE by May 2012.

We have a thousand pujols threads, and will likely have 1000 more.

But the reddit post blew me away.

Pujols was here longer than ww1 and 2 combined. And gave us less WAR, and equal sadness. And we likely paid him more than a few countries spent that actually participated in the war.

We used to draft minor leaguers in our fantasy baseball league way back when.

I drafted Keith Ginter over Albert Pujols.

That wound never healed.

I can't tell if that's win percentage or team OPS.

It also took longer for the Angels to finally DFA Pujols than for the U.S. to finally join WWII.

Switzerland gives less WAR than the Angels Pujols.

One month. About as long as the maginot line in the war.

The maNginot line was equally as expensive and worthless in WAR, after a month

Jesus, talk about putting things in perspective.

[Tank]
