Albert Pujols is nearing the end of his current contract with the St Louis Cardinals. Pujols is signed through the end of the 2011 season, and will earn a modest 16 million dollars, and some odd 200 bowls of chili from St Louis restaurants.
The Cardinals offered him a new contract deal, which he recently declined, which has left fans a bit worried. Chili Chat sent sports corespondent Murch Whistler to investigate.
Albert is on the last year of his 8 year 111 Million dollar contract, that featured a complete chili perks package. Albert is welcome to all the chili he can eat in all of the greater St Louis area (200 bowl limit). What more could a sports superstar want? Albert had this to say:
"I am grateful for all of my fans, and have many fond memories in St Louis, but my future here depends mainly on the chili perks package."
Cardinals GM John Mozeliak would not comment on the issue, but was reported chopping onions, drinking, and crying in his office.
There have been many reports of Albert visiting the hottest chili spots in Texas, Boston, and New York. Albert was seen leaving The Chili Factory, a hot chili night club in Houston, Tx Saturday night. Whistler was able to catch up with Albert before he hopped into his ride Saturday night. Albert was not available for comment, but was seen discarding a crumpled piece of paper onto the sidewalk which was later identified as a chili stained napkin.
It's clear, Albert is doing his research.
It is not a big secret that St Louis is not a "chili hot spot," but could an extended chili perks package be just enough to push the slugger over the edge?
