Because He's Worth It?

Having just helped the St Louis Cardinals to their latest World Series victory, Albert Pujols, the 32 year old big slugger has just signed a $254 million 10 year deal with the Angels.

Firstly, how can any team pay that much for a player who surely won't see out the duration of that contract and despite the World Series win, actually had his worst season in 10 years?

Secondly (and more importantly), how can a guy who looks like the only other sport he would look at home in is darts, be considered such a valuable 'athlete'!?

Beyond me.

Albert Pujols - can now afford a lot more pies
