KOLE!
 
 
....oh wait.....

He did dominate high school. According to Wikipedia he hit 8 HR in 33 at bats as a senior, being intentionally walked 55 times. He left high school a semester early, given a scholarship to community college. Wikipedia also said that there were concerns about his real age, thus his late drafting.
I do think it likely--or at least possible--that he's older than listed. For one, it fits his decline pattern better: his last great year was 2010 when he was "30", or possibly 32-33. It is more common for players of his caliber to start declining around then. Secondly, he's given away his hypothetical real age several times, like here. That would have made him 41 years old when he gave that interview, 2 years ago - meaning, he's 43 right now, or +3 years.
Ultimately it doesn't matter - his career as an Angel is in the books, and has been hugely disappointing by any measure - but it does make more sense if he started his Angels career, already in decline, at age 35, rather than the listed 32, when he should have been a lot closer to his prime.

I like variety in life. It gives me something to watch in October. 

Not to rag on Pujols, but I think he is a fraud. Maybe his numbers were inflated by steroids. Certainly he lied about his age. And now he is milking the Angels for an exorbitant salary despite contributing nothing. 

They've always been my favorites but the Avalanche are closing fast. I'm just enjoying hockey more than baseball in the era of full counts and launch angle

Man, I’d walk Upton. Set up the double play.
 
orrrrjust strike him out.   

because we're also a sub-500 team.

Lol I really don't think the players really give a shit about Gene Autry or Walter O'Malley so why should we. Move on people.

Lol @ sports hatred. 

Yea, ok.  If you thought we would be this bad then that is more on you than it is on any “super fan” thinking we would be better.  Congrats on being the guy that thought the Angels would have their worst season ever.  You deserve praise for being that guy.

I wonder what the season record is for losses by a walk-off grand slam. We've got two so far.

Nice bullpen, Billy!
Still want to shop at Big Lots and the 99 cent store?
You’ve had FIVE years to build a bullpen!

Don’t worry, they’ll fuck it up. 

This team is comic relief in these hard times. 

I have several sets of game used tickets from past postseason games, All Star and many others. I can’t wait to show off my future e tickets. 

Man, y'all are grouchy as fuck.
 
Have a snickers bitches.

You are fucking hilarious in your ignorance.  

a big NO to this idea. 
besides, we need to see 15 and 16 retired first.

What we are seeing is that the issue was never Sosh and it isn't Maddon now.
The problem is the lack of offensive talent (with only a few exceptions) and the terrible pitching.
Overall, the team sucks and the young talent that comes up sucks at the Major League level too.

For years we heard what a genius Maddon is and how Scioscia sucks.
That was annoying as hell.
 
 

Yeah, dude is a total narcissist, but I respect anyone who shares government secrets. I think Snowden is more of a hero, though.

I wouldn’t have even noticed or given a second thought. How any one can take the major networks seriously is beyond me.

CNN does a gushing documentary on Biden (of course) and like the old Soviet Union, doctors a photo of him and his son, removing the Washington Redskins logo. Nice journalism.
