(KMOX) - If you're following the Albert Pujols will-he, won't-he retire rollercoaster this offseason, buckle up for a wild ride.
The 41-year-old former St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angles and Los Angeles Dodgers first baseball/designated hitter decided to play in the Dominican Winter League this offseason for the first time in his 21-year professional career. And the free agent made it a special debut.
