Dominican Baseball Player of the Week: Albert Pujols

Albert Pujols is off to a horrendous start this season. He normally would not be in the running for the Dominican Baseball Player of the Week with a one home run performance. But, there were no other Dominican baseball players that had big weeks, and Albert got off the snide with his first home run of the season.

Expect the flood gates to open now. There have not been too many times in the career of Pujols in which he went 28 games and over 100 at-bats without a home run. And the Angels may be coming out of their team slump at the same time. They definitely need Pujols to contend with the Rangers in the AL West.

Dominican Baseball Player of the Week Albert Pujols is from Sano Domingo, Dominican Republic.
