Today's POTD takes a look at Albert Pujols in his last season with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 31 year-old first baseman signed a 10-year deal worth $254-million with the Los Angeles Angels.
This photo was a clue Albert Pujols would split for greener pastures after 2011. Get it? :D

Pujols gets ready for his first plate appearance of the evening and would later single to center off Marlins starter Javier Vazquez. Florida catcher Brett Hayes gives former Jay John Buck a night off behind the dish.

Pujols would finish the game 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored but the Cardinals lost to the Marlins 8-7.
