Via the Projo Sox Blog, Albert Pujols called the location of his grand slam on Sunday:

After opening the third inning with a fly out, Pujols returned to the Cardinals clubhouse to review video. There he predicted to assistant hitting coach Mike Aldrete that his next at-bat would ricochet off the yet-to-open Royals Hall of Fame behind the visitors bullpen in left field. “He didn’t say he might hit the Hall of Fame. He said he would hit the Hall of Fame,” Aldrete recalled.

Pujols returned in the fourth inning against Royals starting pitcher Gil Meche with the bases loaded and one out in a 4-4 game. Pujols and Meche reached a full count. By then Meche had shown Pujols every pitch in his repertoire except a change-up. When Meche finally threw the pitch, Pujols swatted it some 423 feet off a Hall of Fame window.

“He’s a competitive guy. He’s going to go after you and hopefully make a mistake like he did, and you take advantage,” Pujols said. “The worst thing you can do in that situation is hit into a double play. I want to hit the ball in the air.”

The legend grows.
