(Anaheim, CA)  --  One of the greatest hitters of all time is being released.  The Los Angeles Angels are designating Albert Pujols for assignment.  Owner Arte Moreno released a statement saying Pujols is an inspiration to many for his accomplishments both on the baseball diamond and away from it.  Pujols came to the Angels after winning two World Series championships with the St. Louis Cardinals.  The three-time National League M-V-P has hit 667 career homers, but was hitting just .198 this season in 86 at-bats.
