Pujols Turns Down Invitation To 2012 Home Run Derby
Quote:
The Yankees’ second baseman, serving as the captain for the American League in the State Farm Home Run Derby, wanted his good friend to join the team. And Pujols, who has competed in three of these HR Derby events, would’ve done it if he had been picked for the All-Star Game. But if not, he asked Cano if he would pick teammate Mark Trumbo, instead.
And so he did.
“I told Robbie to call him, because I thought he deserved it,” Pujols said in Spanish. “It’s great to have fresh faces in the Home Run Derby. He invited me, but I told him, ‘Robbie, to be honest, if I don’t get picked for the All-Star Game, I’m not going to do it, but I’d love it if you invited Trumbo,’ and he told me he’d do it.”
