St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols has had an amazing career to-date, accumulating statistics that arguably make him one of the greatest players ever to play the game, through his first six seasons. He has broken several records and has been consistently superior to the majority of the other players in the league. However, in a recent post-game interview Albert did something that he has never done before - responded to an interview question without using the phrase "You Know".
Albert is known for being open and friendly to the media, and accordingly has given many interviews to a wide range of reporters. Typically he is available both on the field and in the locker room for comments, and fans enjoy his insight into the game and the team. Following a particularly horrendous Cardinal loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Albert was asked to talk about his performance in the game, in which he struck out three times and went 0 for 5. In response, Pujols stated, "That game was terrible. I don't wanna talk about it." This response created an uproad amongst the many members of the media who are accustomed to a more gregarious Pujols.
By comparison, in an interview given the night before, having been asked the same question, Albert replied, "You know, it's great, these guys, you know it's like you know I just try to go out there and play with these guys, you know. I'm out there you know to take a swing and I love it you know put the bat on the ball you know and just help you know love it help the team out you know. I just wanna be a part you know of a winning club, you know? You know it's great these guys you know I love you know it's great. It's great, you know. It's great."
