Pujols wants to apologize to Howard
December 4th, 2006Albert Pujols apparently feels like his words have been lost in translation.
In an interview with USA Today, Pujols said his recent comments about Ryan Howard’s unworthiness as National League MVP were misinterpreted and he wants to apologize to the Phillies’ slugging first baseman.
“I feel so bad because I love Ryan Howard,” Pujols told USA Today. “I never said he didn’t deserve the MVP. He is deserving of that award. He earned it. That’s why he got it. I’m not trying to defend myself; I just want to tell him that I’m sorry for all of this because he earned the MVP. The last thing I want to do is spoil this for him.”
I really wish that when a sport’s season ends, that would mean that NO players would speak to the media, for any reason, until the start of the next season. Wonder why none of the commissioners have ever thought of that?
I’m glad to see Pujols man up and do this. He definately owed Howard an apology. There should be no whining in baseball.
If he was mistranslated, then he should insist that the media apologise. Unless of course he said what the report said he said. Now I think I need an interpreter!
