Albert Pujols' name was linked in erroneous reports on the morning of the Mitchell Report's release. When asked about the mistake in reporting, Pujols said, "I don't want to go through that. Because if you want to hear how I feel, it's going to get real bad here. So we don't want to start that. And I think you should respect that."
"Baseball is just a hobby, man. God has blessed me. And I fear God too much for me to do a stupid thing. I fear him. If I do some stupid things to help me out, to hit .400 or three-something or hit 30 home runs, he's going to take that away from me. So why not be the natural guy like I've been since I was in the Minor Leagues? To cheat in this game, that's not right."

Can't blame the guy for being angry. I recall hearing the WNBC report on a local evening news program that night, I couldn't believe my ears. The WABC affiliate was reading names from the fake list. You'd think in New York City, news anchors would check facts.
