Albert Pujols, born José Alberto Pujols Alcántara (January 16, 1980), is perhaps one of the most followed players in baseball today, just so happens he is also … wait for it.. wait for it.. Dominican!
Thus far his career has been playing for the St. Louis Cardinals as a first baseman, and at 6’3″ considered to be one of the best players in the game today. Aside from being one of the best well-rounded players, I include him in this list due to his overall nice guy personality as well as his giving along with his wife to various charities. According to a poll of all 30 MLB managers in 2008 Alber was named one of the most feared players in the game. He won the N.L. Rookie of the Year award in 2001, been selected as All-Star nine times as well as won the National League Most Valuable Player Award three times (2005, 2008, 2009), twice won the National League Hank Aaron Award, and has a World Series ring in 2006 with the the Cardinals 2006, say that 3 times fast.
