Albert Pujols

I'll be honest, Albert Pujols is one of those guys who made greatness look almost boring, and I mean that as the highest compliment. For about a decade in St. Louis he was a machine, slugging like clockwork, racking up three MVPs and that 2001 Rookie of the Year, and quietly being the scariest right-handed bat in baseball. What I love is that he was never flashy about it, just this calm, mountain-of-a-man presence who'd casually launch a 450-foot bomb and trot like it was nothing. The Angels years were rockier and the contract aged poorly, sure, but watching him grind toward 700 home runs gave me chills. A first-ballot legend, no debate from me.
