On the eve of Albert Pujols' return to St. Louis for the first time since signing with the Angels after the 2011 season, Los Angeles Times national baseball writer Andy McCullough, a former Missouri Sports Writer of the Year winner, joins Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold to discuss what he's discovered about Pujols' legacy while visiting Mound City. Hint: There's a statue of Pujols waiting for a home. The two baseball writers also discuss the conversion rate on wins in the National League West to wins in the National League Central, and why McCullough sees a better team in the Cardinals than maybe the standings imply. There is also a rant about a GM that compared himself to brain surgeons and a discussion about the modern game of baseball. McCullough makes a good point about what baseball has above other spots -- and how it's missing the chance to market and maximize that trait. The Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of StlToday.com, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Derrick Goold.
