The pair has three children; Isabella, Albert Jr., and Sophia. Isabella is Deidre's from a previous relationship, who Albert has subsequently adopted.
Fast Facts: What's this? A post where we're not snarky?
No, it's true. We can't find a joke here. Probably the best player in baseball is also probably the best person in baseball. The couple's oldest daughter, Isabella, has Down syndrome. Because of the dedication to their child and the cause, the Pujols' are extremely active in the community. The Pujols Family Foundation offers assistance to families of children with down syndrome. Albert and Deidre also annually host "Buddy Walk in the Park" where he has local families with children with Down syndrome to Busch Stadium as his guest.
Fun Facts: In addition to being a stand up person in the community, a devoted mother, a dedicated wife, and an activist for a worthwhile cause, Dee Dee knows her shit about baseball.
Albert was going through a rare slump in early 2007. After pouring over hours of video, Albert and hitting coach Hal McRae couldn't diagnose a mechanical cause to his drought at the plate. One day, on his way to the park, Albert received a text message from his wife which explained that she thought his hands had fallen too low and his crouch at the plate too pronounced.
Pujols got to the park and compared video only to learn that Deidre was 100% correct. That night, Pujols snapped out of his slump in a big way, going 4-for-4 with two home runs.
Further evidence that the woman is always right.
