But i was 8 years old. I can't really count that

The most amazing performances were probably Albert Pujols

In 2005 I saw Albert go 3 for 3 with 2 walks - a double and 2 homers and made 2 high light reel plays at 1st to steal hits from the Phillies. The best baseball game played that I ever saw live and in person

In a completely different way, Pujols impressed me a few years later.

In 2009 a fan in Pittsburgh fell onto the field near 1st base. He was attending the game with his son, who had Down's Syndrome on his son's 21st birthday.

Here is the story
