Cardinals icon to debut Sunday in announcers booth

Pujols told Dan Caesar of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he "couldn't be more excited" for the opportunity to make his commentary debut. Meanwhile, Peacock's producer for MLB games, Matt Borzello, said that Pujols was looking to "branch out" into the world of sports broadcasting, and by chance, a spot on Sunday opened up. 

"It's great that ... we had an opening to use him," Borzello said. "Any time you have a player of Albert's caliber, you definitely want to involve him in the show." 

Pujols should be a massive addition to the broadcast. After a 22-year MLB career, who better to analyze the game than a future first-ballot Hall of Famer? 

Pujols thrilled baseball fans for more than 20 years, retiring as one of the sport's indisputable greats. Here's hoping Pujols' television debut goes well, and more importantly, he enjoys the experience. After seeing his Hall of Fame career unfold with our eyes, what a treat it would be to hear Pujols' take on baseball for a few more decades.
