In 2001, Albert Pujols was unanimously voted the NL Rookie of the Year. Pujols played for the Cardinals for 11 seasons, contributing to two World Series championships in 2006 and 2011. After the 2011 season, Pujols became a free agent and later signed a 10-year contract with the Angels. Pujols is a highly regarded hitter who has shown a "combination of contact hitting ability, patience, and raw power". He is a six-time Silver Slugger who has twice led the NL in home runs, and he has also led the NL once each in batting average, doubles and RBI. He is significantly above-average in career regular season batting average (.312), walk rate (12.1 percent), and Isolated Power (.217). Pujols is considered a strong future candidate for the Hall of Fame.

The autograph includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching LOA, as well as a letter of Provenance for authenticity purposes.
