LEADING OFF: Dodgers star Pujols back at Busch Stadium

Albert Pujols is sure to get a big ovation at Busch Stadium when the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger returns to face the Cardinals. The 41-year-old Pujols called St. Louis home for his first 11 major league seasons from 2001-2011 and helped the Cards win two World Series championships. Pujols insists he'll try to focus on the series between the playoff contenders that begins Monday, rather than the fanfare.
