Albert Pujols

2001

One year after playing Class-A ball, Albert Pujols (pictured here with wife, Deidre) is named the National League Rookie of the Year. The Cardinal set NL rookie marks for RBIs (130), total bases (360) and extra base hits (88) and fell one home run shy of tying the NL rookie record of 38 established by Frank Robinson in 1956 as a member of the Reds.
