KEEP ALBERT PUJOLS IN STL

We, the loyal and dedicated fans of the World Champion Saint Louis Cardinals, make an urgent appeal to do all that is possible to keep the greatest baseball player of the modern era, Albert Pujols, on the team and in uniform. The historic value of such a marquis player -- contributing to the legend and lore of this storied major league team -- is vital to the mystique and magic of this incredible baseball franchise. Do not let Albert Pujols go.

Why is this important?

Fans and friends of the STL Cardinals who want management to know that "if you sign him, we will come." Albert is as much a heritage player as Stan the Man, The Wizard, Lou, Gibby, Mac and beyond. Find a way to make this work out for everyone... we believe you can and should make Mr. Pujols a "Cardinal Forever."
