He simply is amazing. And for what he is getting paid now, he is a complete bargain... Congrats on going to a fantastic game. This is one of the few rare moments in modern day sports that will be remembered for years to come, especially if the Cardinals win it all..

What's most interesting is he didn't even hit the first one until the 6th inning. The chances of hitting three that late in the game are miniscule.

Two greatest:

1. In high school saw Mike Lieberthal hit for the cycle in homers in a game. Solo, 2-run, 3-run, grand slam.

2. I had kidney stones and went yard at a co-ed softball game. Could barely round the bases. Anyone who's ever had kidney stones will realize how incredible this is. I wound up going to the ER later that day.

I'd thought about trying to get a ticket to the game and driving up from San Antonio, but decided against it Not that I could've gotten a ticket anyway.

Talk about a Monster game.....tied the record for most home runs in a World Series game, tied the record for most RBIs in a World Series Game, and tied the record for most hits in a World Series game!!!

I think Pujols also became the first player in World Series history to have hits in four consecutive innings!

I've been to three memorable games:

Fergie Jenkins' 3,000th K in San Diego
Nolan Ryan pitching a 1-hitter in San Diego
Nolan Ryan's 7th no hitter in Arlington

Game was a blowout, third one was not a big deal as the towel was already thrown in, not to mention against the Rangers, comparing this to what the Mr. October did is a complete joke, needs a dozen asterisks......

You mean intentionally and illegally throwing your hip into a throw, between first and second? You're quite right--no comparison.

The man hit 3 home runs in a World Series game. The fourth time it's happened in 620 +/- games. I don't care if it's against the local little league team, since they're in the World Series they must be pretty good.

When Ruth did it in 1928 it was with his team leading 3 games to none and ahead by 4 runs in the 8th, are you going to claim that his was a joke, too?

I imagine if Albert looked out and saw Burt Hooton, Elias Sosa and that Charlie Hough he would have feigned illness.
