Is Albert Pujols the best hitter that we’ve ever known? That is a question that has been asked hundreds of times, and the debate doesn’t look like it’s going to go away any time soon.

So that we all know who I’m talking about, I’m not going to go to players from days gone by, only from the 1980 onwards.

Players from the past such as Mays and Williams were great in their day, but the game has changed so much since then comparisons can’t really be made. Conditions and even equipment are completely different in the modern game.

Would Albert Pujols have been so formidable in a different era? How would Ted Williams have played in today’s game? These questions are unanswerable, so let’s just look at what Pujols has going for him in the modern game.

As he is still only 29, he can stay at the level he is at, or even improve further, in the years to come. The key to his success is how consistent he is, week in, week out. Here are just a few stats that other players would die for. The .334 career average of Albert Pujols is outstanding.

When you consider that you have to go way back to find a low average of .312 in the second year of his career, and his lowest since has been .327, this really is a guy to be reckoned with.

Pujols is an MLB player and has now played 9 seasons in this league. During 5 of those he has hit 40 home runs. The lowest amount he has ever hit in a season is 32; this is an outstanding stat by anyone’s standards.

As every new season starts, we hold our breath to see if Pujols can maintain his stunning form, and he never lets us down. Is he the greatest hitter of our generation? That we can only answer when he finishes playing, but I wouldn’t bet against him.

Every generation of football sees the emergence and prevalence of a few elite quarterbacks. In the 80s and 90s, we saw the likes of Montana, Elway, Marino, and Aikman dominating the sport. Currently, quarterbacks like Manning, Favre, Brady, and Brees are clearly the best in the game.

Very rarely do we see two of the best quarterbacks in the sport facing off against one another in the Super Bowl. This year, the football world will be privileged enough to enjoy such an opportunity. Not only is this the case, but many believed that both teams were tops in the league through the course of the season.

Both the Saints and Colts won their first 14 games, leading many to speculate as to whether these teams would go undefeated through the course of the entire season.

Neither the Colts nor the Saints finished out the season without a loss. In fact, each team lost two games, each for their own reasons. Still, this was enough to secure home field advantage, which clearly helped to secure a Super Bowl berth for each team.

When Indianapolis and New Orleans meet up with one another, fans will all agree about the fact that the winner will probably come down to the team with the more effective quarterback.

This is different from the last few Super Bowl meetings we’ve seen. If you look at the previous two winners in the Steelers and Giants, both teams won the game on the heels of a strong defense.

Recent champions have all resulted from highly proficient defenses and while both the Colts and Saints are efficient defensively, their defensive performances won’t matter much since each quarterback seems to be effective no matter what.

What happens from here is anyone’s guess, but one thing remains true no matter what. The world will have the opportunity to enjoy to of the best quarterbacks in the world, both of them in their primes.

Although I loathe Allen Iverson due to what he caused in Detroit with the Pistons, corrupting what was an incredibly tightly knit squad that happened to be one of the finest organizations in the Eastern Conference, I have to lay my disdain for the man aside.

Not because I would like to, but since the major acquisition in the existence of the Memphis Grizzlies’ franchise took place on Wednesday. AI finally answered the question that a variety of residents of Memphis have been asking.

Will he go there or not?

Through Twitter, Iverson, who will now be getting $3.5 million this season for the Grizzlies, ended all of the rumors and agreed provisionally to join the Grizzlies, his 3rd franchise in the most recent four seasons.

The agreement furthermore includes incentives for reaching the post-season, one thing that hasn’t happened dating back to ’06 (when they lost to the Mavs in the 1st round), and if they make the league finals.

Over the seasons, Iverson has had challenges grasping leadership and taking any responsibility that comes to him (example: the Pistons) and clashing with coaches (i.e.: the Sixers), which is why hardly any franchises had been interested in Iverson following his failure in Detroit.

Now he has shot to accomplish something similar to what he did in Philadelphia (when he entered the league) and guide the fortunes of this franchise around and make it happen with a trio of young stars in O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay, and Hasheem Thabeet.

While we should not pencil the Grizzlies in for the playoffs by any account, it’s not difficult to say that they will be improved from last season.

If Iverson stays more than one season, maybe there might be an opportunity, however I do not suppose people should get their hopes up on the fact that the Grizzlies will make the playoffs.

It is too early.
