Friends, Today, let’s speak of “mountweazels.” Last week, I described Albert Pujols as “the man.” Only one person (yes, Mark, you…) noticed that this was close but not actually correct. While Pujols indeed may be the man, in St. Louis he resisted that title. He noted that Stan Musial, the great all-star Cardinal, was “Stan the Man” and there could be no other. It is with that statement that he henceforth became known, instead, as “the machine.” The machine is still going strong. The statement that Pujols is “the man” is a mountweazel.
