He's like the Derek Jeter of the Midwest, except better at baseball and younger and taller and heavier and exponentially more powerful. I guess what I'm trying to say is that he has a winning spirit and a good heart. If you disbelieve me, you can read this Sports Illustrated article.

"If he ever got involved in that [steroid] stuff, I would be the first one to kill him," Dee Dee says suddenly.
DEE DEE IS MURDEROUS BUT IN A GOOD WAY
I love Pujols.
