One of the Greatest players in Major League Baseball currently, if not the greatest. Is often compared to Ted Williams and Joe Dimaggio for his amazing success through his first five years. Is having yet another great year this year, and set the April home run record, with 14 homers. Could very well break many records before his career is said and done, if he stays healthy. A much more popular player than Barry Bonds, who is hated throughout the media and fanbase for his attitude and his possible use of steroids.
Albert Pujols hit three home runs in one game against the Reds, including a walkoff homerun. Then Barry Bonds tried to be like Pujols and struck out 4 times.

"In the air to left field, and Pujols has given St. Louis the lead! A dramatic, towering, three-run home run! Stunned in disbelief here in Houston. … How about Albert Pujols!"

Holy Shit! How does the best player in baseball only have one definition and overrated D.J. has two pages. Bullshit! Albert Pujols is by far the best hitter in baseball, not just by his numbers, but his work ethic too. " El Hombre" as we call him in Stl is the best player I have ever seen.
Albert Pujols is the best hitter in baseball and is very underrated first baseman. He is a great baserunner(he has to be to make up for his speed.)Albert Pujols is freaking awesome.

Sven: "Albert Pujols sure is good at baseball."
Gary: "Of course he is. He invented it, you goddamn jackass."

Something absolutely epic, unbelievable and/or awe-inspiring. Named for Albert Pujols's massive (estimated) 468-foot home run in Game 5 in the 2005 NLCS off Astros pitcher Brad Lidge when the Cardinals were down to their last out.
Can be used to describe any amazing achievement anywhere. Does not necessary have to be clutch, but can be.

"Michael J. Fox truly hit a Pujols moonshot with his wife."
"Did you see Jamie Foxx in Ray? That was a Pujols moonshot performance if ever I saw one"
"Eisenhower. D-Day. Pujols moonshot. End of discussion."
"The Knack didn't have the best career, but dammit, My Sharona was a Pujols moonshot for the ages.'
